[Crash-utility] crash version 4.0-4.3 is available

[Dave Anderson]

- Tentatively scheduled as the baseline version for RHEL4.6 and RHEL5.1
   crash utility errata releases.

- Fix for "kmem -f" command on 2.6.17 and later CONFIG_DISCONTIGMEM
   kernels.  Without the patch, the command would fail with the error
   message "kmem: cannot determine zone mem_map: TBD".

- Fix for segmentation violation when using the wrong vmlinux file
   command line argument on a live system on either the x86_64 or
   ia64 architectures.  If attempted with this version, the normal
   "WARNING: vmlinux and /proc/version do not match!" message will
   be followed by an additional warning message that displays the
   Linux version number from /proc/version, and then the final message:
   "crash: please use the vmlinux file for that kernel version, or
   try using the System.map for that kernel version as an additional
   argument."  (anderson at redhat.com)

- For all 4 types of input-file processing:

     1) $HOME/.crashrc
     2) ./.crashrc
     3) "crash -i input"
     4) session-time "< input"

   If a command in the input file encounters a FATAL error, the
   remainder of the commands will be executed.  Until now, if any
   command in the input file caused a FATAL error, the processing
   of the remainder of the commands would be aborted.
