Can we revert the patch then? I assume the citrix version of xend puts
the log-throttling key in based on certain criteria but maybe it isn't
appropriate for the gpl version? I mean it's pretty much useless in this
form isn't it? It worked great for me as detecting the presence of a
file in /etc...
