 		NOTE: This option is marked EXPERIMENTAL because there is a logical
-		error in the design.  That error is that sched_note_get() calls
-		enter/leave_critical_section.  When the buffer note buffer has been
-		filled, each of these calls causes an entry to be removed from the
-		note buffer to make more space.  The end result is that every other
-		note is lost when dumping the note buffer.  Not very useful!
