[Crash-utility] Seek error type: "tss_struct ist array" problem on 8-CPU AMD system

[Jansen, Frank]

Looking through the changelog, I saw that the 'tss_struct ist array'
problem on 8-CPU systems had been addressed previously.  However, I'm
running into this issue on an AMD server with crash 4.0-4.1 and RHEL4
Update 5 (2.6.9-55.Elsmp).

The output from the crash invocation is the following:
+++

The server is a 4 dual-core AMD (2.8GHz) with 64GB.

Any insights into how best to troubleshoot this are much appreciated.
