Hi Kazu,

sorry, i'm new to makedumpfile and apparently still not understanding
everything correctly. I checked the *linux-next* repo and couldn't find
anything which adds *init_uts_ns.name*. I only see

	VMCOREINFO_OSRELEASE(init_uts_ns.name.release);

	VMCOREINFO_SYMBOL(init_uts_ns);

I checked kernel/crash_core.c, this is the right place to check, right ?
But my fix seems to work with a crash dump from linux-next.

Thanks
Regards
Alex
