Like this:

static int jffs2_garbage_collect_thread(void *_c)
{
        struct jffs2_sb_info *c = _c;

        D1(printk(KERN_DEBUG "****jffs2_garbage_collect_thread start...\n"));

        daemonize("jffs2_gcd_mtd%d", c->mtd->index);

        D1(printk(KERN_DEBUG "****jffs2_garbage_collect_thread after 
daemonize()...\n"));

        c->gc_task = current;
        up(&c->gc_thread_start);

-----------------
No extra output !!!

I'm running this on an embedded system and the console is via minicom (ttyS1), 
SysRq-T doesn't seem to work !

If I have to I can bodge up some H/W to allow a real console (only as a last 
resort) ;)
