Re-posting the patch as an attachment. I'm sorry for the mess on the
first pass.

David.
I have been shown several alleged crash bugs that much effort revealed to be
actually just incomplete or corrupt dump files. This set of changes adds a
debug level 8 set of messages that allows for an easier optional diagnosis of
faulty crash dumps through identification of the runtime read_mem() instance
(crash dump type) and tracing of it's behavior (structure parsing). It also
adds some optional messages for identifiable error cases that currently only
use error codes.
This patch is based on crash-6.0.2
