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.
