[Crash-utility] [PATCH 0/3] trace.so: Make trace dump -t work again

[Dave Anderson]

Hi Steve,

I'm not going to wait any longer for Xu Huan to respond.  Perhaps he's no longer interested
in maintaining the package, but if he is, he can always reply later.  

Your patches are queued for crash-7.2.6:
  
  https://github.com/crash-utility/crash/commit/26488e918f065c7cdd8e8d77ef7c02ae670d9c7e

Thanks,
  Dave
