Hi, Matt

I'm mostly looking for a more reliable dumps. I used version 3.1.3 with
kernel 2.2.18 and noticed that dumps are not always created.  E.g. if
crash occurred in net_bh, the system just hanged and no dump was
created.
On the other hand, crash which occured at module loading stage, was
dumped
successfully. I was hoping that latest CVS code will allow more reliable
dump creation in all contexts.

Thanks.

Felix.
