It's understood about the realities of commercial decisions, however, 
if you really want to trace APPS
that means user space dtrace  and 7.2 just doesn't have the hooks to 
do non-kernel dtrace.

As a side note, realize that Dtrace support in FreeBSD had a serious 
problem a couple of years ago
when the lead developer suddenly dropped dead (Very literally, to out 
great sadness), and it took
a while for alternative resources to fill the gap.
