[Bug runtime/2725] Attempting to probe all kernel functions hangs FC5

I think it has to do with printing within the * probe.  I tried the following on
i686 RHEL4:

  probe begin { log("begin") }
  probe kernel.function("*") { }
  probe end { log("end") }

This had no problem.  The system was a bit slow, but still usable and reasonably
responsive.  Then I tried this:

  probe begin { log("begin") }
  probe kernel.function("*") { print(".") }
  probe end { log("end") }

This hung the system.  The simple print(".") will still create a lot of data --
perhaps something in the buffer flush is being overwhelmed, or causing a recursion?
