Hi Daisuke,
I found a problem with the latest makedumpfile v1.5.5.
I have narrowed down the bug to your patch set:
72d9d063 [PATCH v2 1/2] Use memset() to improve the 1st bitmap
initialization performance.
363d53fc [PATCH v2 2/2] Write out a whole part of the 1st bitmap before
entering cyclic process.
After reversed this patch set out, this problem was gone.
Could you check this problem?
I got a segmentation fault during dump kernel. I have copied the vmcore
to my system to debug it.

In makedumpfile line 402:
memset(bufptr, 0, frac_head);
I have printed out the value of frac_head:
p frac_head
$2 = 18446744069827559424
It seems something wrong here.
Here is the paddr in this context.
(gdb) p paddr
$3 = 3881992192
I also have printed out the pt_loads for your reference:
(gdb) p *pt_loads at num_pt_loads
$3 = {{file_offset = 12288, phys_start = 16777216, phys_end = 33579008,
