New information regarding hung crash dump

In smp_send_stop(),   I commented out the call to  disable_local_APIC(),

The core dumps now succeed.

Note.   I just read the archives and saw that the kernel patch was
updated.   I had already noticed
the __SMP__   bug and fixed my local copy (forgot to mention this when
talking with Matt).  So I was
really calling smp_send_stop() which called disable_local_APIC().

Any ideas on why this is causing me grief?
Is commenting out the routine going to cause other major problems?

Also,  when I finally go to use lcrash I noticed that there were no
stack traces.   Am I missing
something here?

Thanks,

Larry Cohen
