A patch for your initialization-time segmentation violation is attached.

I cannot reproduce it, even with your supplied kernel/dumpfile pair:
# crash vmlinux-2.6.31.7+up-syms kerneldump-20100114-091104
... [ snip ] ...
crash> struct x8664_pda
struct: invalid data structure reference: x8664_pda
crash>
While walking through the "ALL_PSYMTABS" list of partial_symtabs in
lookup_partial_symtab(), I never see a NULL-filled partial_symtab
structure as you show above. What I do see is 13434 partial_symtab
structures, with pst->filenames starting from:
/workarea5/work/fw/mulperi/ararat/kernel/sg-kernel.git/arch/x86/lib/csum-copy_64.S
until the last one:
/workarea5/work/fw/mulperi/ararat/kernel/sg-kernel.git/arch/x86/kernel/head_64.S
So I don't know what the deal is with that one.
