Incidentally, when I've used SysRq I've found it needed
enabling with an

Thanks Ian
That gets my tip of the day vote! Just checked and found that my Eridani Linux 6.3 systems ( Redhat 6.2 update based ) all have that unset.
Presumably it will be the same story for other default RedHat systems.
One more change to default init that's highly recommended...
It's also not there by default in Redhats to 7.1 (not tried 7.2), although RH-default kernels have sysrq compiled in. Strange. Dunno whether there's a nice way of turning it on; we just bodged up an init script for it.
