BTW, should /dev/kmem work also?  It fails for me on Win2k '/dev/kmem:
No such device or address'.  I don't know if it's important, but here's
"ls -l /dev/kmem", just in case:
crw-rw-rw-    1 igor     Administ   1,   2 May 20 09:18 /dev/kmem

As I've reported already, this isn't entirely fixed.  Anything I can do to
help debug this?  It'd be great if this could be fixed in 1.5.10...

Other than the above, the snapshot seems to be working great so far.
