Hi,

In some vkernel cores (not all of them) I get gdb segfaults:

"ps" -- when kernel debugging, type out a ps-like listing of active processes.
Reading symbols from /vkernels/01/vkernel...done.

warning: core file may not match specified executable file.
[New process 1]
[New process 1]
[New process 2]
[New process 3]
[New process 4]
[New process 5]
[New process 6]
[New process 7]
Core was generated by `kernel'.
Program terminated with signal 4, Illegal instruction.
#0 <signal handler called>
(gdb) bt
#0 <signal handler called>
Segmentation fault (core dumped)

GDB backtrace itself is:

"ps" -- when kernel debugging, type out a ps-like listing of active processes.
Reading symbols from /usr/bin/gdb...done.
[New <main task>]
Core was generated by `gdb'.
Program terminated with signal 11, Segmentation fault.

backtrace repeats itself over and over ...
