Double grr.  I just ran 2.5.33-mm4 and got the hang at dbench 8.  And in
my haste, I forgot to enable sysrq after boot.

[root@spc5 steven]# find /etc -name "*" | xargs grep sysrq
/etc/sysctl.conf:kernel.sysrq = 0

This is from RH 7.3.  Fixed.  Thanks.

For what it's worth, I ran the output from sysrq-p (2.5.33-mm3
yesterday) through ksymoops, and here is the result. I typed those
numbers in manually. I'll try to get time to set up a serial console
today.
