Actually the kernel part for this BZ is not bug 248666, but rather 477635:

  https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=477635
  Bug 477635 -  If diskdump fails, panic information should be displayed.

Takao,

Vivek Goyal will be applying the kernel-side patch today for
his next RHEL4 kernel rebuild.

Similar to what you did for version 1.4.1-6, can you re-run 
basic sanity tests on the new diskdumputils-1.4.1-7 package
for the QA procedure for the diskdumputils errata?

  RHEA-2009:8209-03 - diskdumputils documentation update
  http://errata.devel.redhat.com/errata/info/8001

You can report your test results here, and I will re-post them
in the errata.

Thanks,
  Dave

Update: Vivek will not be building a new kernel today, but rather
he will do so tomorrow.

Hi Dave,

Originally it seems that README is written so that the length of each line can be shorter than 80 columns, but I found that the new sentences I added include the lines which are longer than 80 columns. Should I fix this? I can fix this soon if needed.

In my opinion, it's really not that important.

Ok, I also think it's trivial. I just wondered whether there are those who care this. Thanks.

I tested on i386/x86_64/ia64 and there is no problem.
