Dave, 

After the application of the patch (posted by Haren)
on crash-4.0-2.21, I am now able to open the dump using crash
for analysis.

The following may be unrelated to the present discussion, but
it is an observation:

When I do 'bt -a' I get the following error on one of the cpus:

PID: 2871   TASK: c000000161d05800  CPU: 4   COMMAND: "klogd"
bt: invalid kernel virtual address: ff807a50  type: "Regs NIP value"

and a segmentation fault when I a do a 'bt' after setting the
context to a particular cpu using 'set -c'.

crash> set -c 8
    PID: 0
COMMAND: "swapper"
   TASK: c0000000e9faf800  (1 of 16)  [THREAD_INFO: c000000161fa4000]
    CPU: 8
  STATE: TASK_RUNNING (ACTIVE)
crash> bt
PID: 0      TASK: c0000000e9faf800  CPU: 8   COMMAND: "swapper"
Segmentation fault


Thoughts?

Thanks
