The problem is that there's an index.0 file. This index file is some kind of
cache that is machine dependent. Someone has opened that crash dump on a 64 bit
machine and you fail to open it on a 32 bit machine now. Removing that index
file should resolve this.
It's not possible to detect that case since the index header only has
- dump version
- magic number
- time stamp
Adding a new header would make the header format incompatible -- therefore, I
decided to implement a architecture independent format. The new lcrash is still
able to read all index files, but creates a new format that can be read on a
machine on another architecture then.
I attached the patch. I'd like to get opinions from upstream before I'll add it
to our package (I hope there are no vetos against this).
