Thanks!
One more question, if I may:
The kernel log says:
Jun 24 03:43:06 localhost kernel: [ 1858.148661] in my_func1

where is the "localhost" from ? the "hostname"  util does **not** show
localhost, by amd1. I am not sure, if remember well, there were
machines
on which the hostname appeared instead of localhost

rgs
