[Crash-utility] netdump netpoll bug?

[Rohan Mutagi]

My kernel version is 2.6.9-34.EL (my system is "up to date" from
RHN)... I am running this inside VMWare and the eth0 is seen as
"PCnet/PCI II 79C97OA"

I am wondering how do I provide the stack trace? As its on the screen
of my laptop. This trace doesnt apper in the "log" file generated by
the netdump-server.

Any leads would be appricaited.

Thanks,
Rohan Mutagi
