Hi Steve,
It's all due to the 4.9 introduction of CONFIG_THREAD_INFO_IN_TASK:

x86: Move thread_info into task_struct
Now that most of the thread_info users have been cleaned up,
this is straightforward.
Most of this code was written by Linus.

sched/core: Allow putting thread_info into task_struct
If an arch opts in by setting CONFIG_THREAD_INFO_IN_TASK_STRUCT,
then thread_info is defined as a single 'u32 flags' and is the first
entry of task_struct. thread_info::task is removed (it serves no
purpose if thread_info is embedded in task_struct), and
thread_info::cpu gets its own slot in task_struct.
This is heavily based on a patch written by Linus.

um/Stop conflating task_struct::stack with thread_info
thread_info may move in the future, so use the accessors.
[ Andy Lutomirski wrote this changelog message and changed
"task_thread_info(child)->cpu" to "task_cpu(child)". ]

You don't have a configuration choice with x86, as it appears it's an architecture
requirement. It's a fairly significant intrusion w/respect to the crash utility,
so you're pretty much out of luck, for now anyway.
Any chance you can make your vmlinux/vmcore pair available for me to download?
