Yes.  This would work better:

> 		while(address != "") {

Note how, within the loop, the first parameter of tokenize() is empty,
so as to resume the previously started tokenization.  (This is hack to
work around the systemtap language's inability to treat an entire
array as a function return value.)

You may like the new backtrace-enumeration functions smakarov 
added in time for systemtap 2.0.  They should make this tokenize
business purely historical.
