Doc Text:
* the dbginfo.sh shell script contained a reference to kernelversion, a command not included in Red Hat Enterprise Linux. This would cause dbginfo to exit before running all tests and report the following errors: "kernelversion: command not found" and " [: =: unary operator expected". In this version of s390utils, the dbginfo.sh script has been modified so that it no longer calls the kernelversion command, thereby avoiding this issue. The script now works correctly.
