Is the "non-System.map" bt output above from the dumpfile containing
the user-space endless-loop, or is it from the second one you tried?
If the backtrace above occurs with the user-space-endless-loop
dumpfile, then it's not necessary to send them to me. But if the
bt errors still occur with the dumpfile containing the user-space
endless-loop (and with no System.map), then yes, I would like to
see the vmlinux/dumpfile pair. (You can send the download details
off-list...)
