Vincent, This looks like the same problem (application core dumps, caused in dump_fpu()) that I posted a patch for last week. Look in the archives for my solution. (basically, dump_fpu() is getting a NULL "regs" argument, and then referencing off of it.)
As you may have seen in my comment, this doesn't work on SMP as last_task_used_math isn't used there. I suppose we could unconditionally use "current" in this case though... Ben. ** Sent via the linuxppc-dev mail list. See http://lists.linuxppc.org/
