Hi,

When a system is panicing and writting a crash dump file. Is it expected
that the kernel keeps servicing user processes? It appears that you are able
to switch virtual consoles, log in, run things while the vmdump process is
doing its stuff. Surely this will severly confuse the dump image being
created, it won't be so much of a snapshot of the system when the panic took
place as a smudge.

Also, I have noticed that inside lcrash

>> ? id     ---   produces the help text for dis
>> ? idcmds -- produces an error 

also other help texts such as bt produce help texts for commands for which
they are possible abbreviations however as the helptext does not say this it
could be that they too are coming up with the wrong information.

Cheers

Simon
