The patch works OK for me, and I suppose that there are simply no I/O's
in progress.

I wish that the authors of crash utility options would keep an eye on their
own patches, and that that this would have been caught earlier.  I'll also
remove those prepended "0x"'s from the addresses -- I'm surprised I let that
slip in when the patch was originally proposed.  (I'd actually forgotten that
the option even existed...) 

Thanks,
  Dave
