Created attachment 294280 [details] simple switch of args to strstr patch attached, as discussed in: https://www.redhat.com/archives/crash-utility/2008-February/msg00021.html If it's not too late, can this be a 4.7 errata candidate? This request was evaluated by Red Hat Product Management for inclusion in a Red Hat Enterprise Linux maintenance release. Product Management has requested further review of this request by Red Hat Engineering, for potential inclusion in a Red Hat Enterprise Linux Update release for currently deployed products. This request is not yet committed for inclusion in an Update release. (In reply to comment #4) > Dave - do you think this is urgent enough to merit an exception and get > into 4.7? > > > This event sent from IssueTracker by sfolkwil > issue 161392 > It was a regression that was introduced in the RHEL4-6 errata, in which diskdumpmsg was changed from a python script to a C-file binary. That new version could never have worked for a hugemem kernel. OK if it's a regression then we need to fix ASAP. Will file exception. Thanks. This event sent from IssueTracker by sfolkwil issue 161392 When the qa_ack comes through, I will file the RHEL4.7 errata on your behalf,
and then follow it through to its release.
Tindoh, I can either:
(1) create a patch for the current diskdumputils 1.4.1 package, or
(2) you can create a new base diskdumputils tar.gz file to replace
the current diskdumputils-1.4.1.tar.gz.
Which would you prefer?

log_buf_len %0 patch
check that log_buf_len is not zero before dividing by it.
*** Bug 431943 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** attaching second patch, from bz431943, to this issue. Both bz's were opened by me, one for each patch. For simplicity, combining into one (this one). The second patch simply checks that log_buf_len isn't zero before dividing by it. If it is, the log_buf wasn't readable and the program exists, indicating such. Hi Dave,
>(1) create a patch for the current diskdumputils 1.4.1 package, or
This is fine with me.
