Serg: that's because the crash depends on the contents of the kernel syslog
ring buffer.
If you do a dmesg -C, hwinfo should work after that (it does for me). That
command clears the ring buffer, so there's no way reading it can cause the
stack overwrite.
Only problem is that nukes your dmesg output for you current session so dmesg >
a_file first if you need it. Oh and it will break again when your dmesg
refills over time.
