English is not my natural language...

Hi, 

first thanks for your nice work.

-----

  I suggest the attached patch, it corrects the fact than
in some case the unit_mask is really a bit mask and
all combination of unit mask are acceptable and in other
case unit mask are exclusive value. 

  It's a diff -u format. Have you other preference on patch 
format ?

-----

  I have checked also than the documentation from intel that say 
FS, FS (twice time stated) is a typo error it is really  FS GS in fact.

-----

  I have a tcl/tk interface to start the profiler, and some patch
in preparation to allow interpretation of profiler result (mixing asm
or source file with profiling data). This needs some new output
format from oprofpp. The tcl/tk interface is ready to work I think.

-----

  I do not really understand why but I get really strange counter 1
result  from oprofpp it seems to be always :
16384 * (real counter 1 result). 

A features or a problem in packing / unpacking samples ?

-----

 I do not know if it is a good thing to speak about more than
one subjects in this mail list ? Must I repost more clearly or
just seperate subject in future?
