I was trying to run crash against a live rawhide kernel and am getting
some errors when I try to start it:

    crash: invalid task address in pid_hash: ccccccccccccca84
    crash: invalid task address in pid_hash: ccccccccccccca84
    ...
    crash: invalid task address in pid_hash: ccccccccccccca84

    crash: cannot gather a stable task list via pid_hash (500 retries)

...and then crash exits. There are a few messages in dmesg:

    crash memory driver: version 1.0
    crash memory driver: !page_is_ram(pfn: 61000000c)

Relevant packages:

    kernel-2.6.24-0.62.rc3.git5.fc9.x86_64
    kernel-debuginfo-2.6.24-0.62.rc3.git5.fc9.x86_64
    crash-4.0-4.10.x86_64

... the host is a FV xen guest (but that shouldn't matter, should it?).

I'm hoping I'm just doing something wrong, but I don't see anything
right offhand.
