I cannot share the vmcore unfortunately due to data contents.
There's something strange going on in my setup though.
I run the Python expect module ("pexpect" ) for automation and run
crash commands under that.
For some reason, when I run this gdb10 test branch, I get these weird errors.
But then I'm not seeing errors when I run the same commands manually
on the same vmcore and gdb10 test branch.
So it's the combination of the new gdb10 branch plus pexpect
environment where I see them, and only with some vmcores.
It's possible some crash output format changes and confuses pexpect,
and it's not a crash bug at all.
I've also seen some strange crash behavior when certain sequences of
crash commands are run.
I'll see if I can narrow down the problem further and report back.
