Oh, now come on.  If a guru finds that adb is missing, he/she whips
out a source tape of goodies from the last job, which just happens to
include a hacked version of adb that prints out some of the kernel
structures easily, loads it up, and compiles it, and sticks it in
his/her own personal bin.  No sweat.

Just another UNIX hacker (may or may not be a guru... hard to tell...),
