Randy,

maybe you'll just post the .i file as is (perhaps compressed with
bzip2)?  It looks like your post has generated lots of interest, but
nobody can reproduce the problem.  It's a much bigger waste of bandwidth
to have others download the -mm kernel.

If the file is too large for the list, please send it to me, and I'll
put it online.  Or put that file on pastebin.com or turboupload.com.

If I can reproduce the bug, with or without valgrind, I'll reduce the
file to the minimal required for the bug to be see.  I did it before.

If sparse crashes for you only, then you'll need to debug it on your
system, and it doesn't matter how big the file is.  What matters is the
backtrace and other info from gdb.
