Hey David,

I just upgraded a dev box to v3.5-rc1 and now crash doesn't work.  Have
you seen this before?

I had been using crash 6.0.6 on this machine on a regular basis until
upgrading the kernel.  I expect if I go back to the older kernel it will
work again.  Any suggestions?  More info I can provide?

Thanks,
Ben
