Hello Dyno,
I added just one other minor change to fix up the debug fprintf's in vmware_vmss_init()
for a clean "make warn" comile on 32-bit hosts.
Queued for crash-7.1.0:
https://github.com/crash-utility/crash/commit/f7e429764056d10e0ae87921e722e4e703cfb362
Nice addition to the supported dumpfile family.
Thanks,
Dave
