Incompatibility with 4.2 prints: crash: page excluded: kernel virtual address: ffff88105b1a0000 type: "fill_task_struct"

Solution, packaged up and tested.

The attachment "lp1523606.trusty.debdiff" seems to be a debdiff. The ubuntu-sponsors team has been subscribed to the bug report so that they can review and hopefully sponsor the debdiff. If the attachment isn't a patch, please remove the "patch" flag from the attachment, remove the "patch" tag, and if you are member of the ~ubuntu-sponsors, unsubscribe the team.

[This is an automated message performed by a Launchpad user owned by ~brian-murray, for any issue please contact him.]

I'll do the ports for vivid, wily, and xenial once I get a chance as well.

wily and xenial are currently at the same revision so this patch should work on both.

Per apw's request I signed and uploaded all packages to
http://people.canonical.com/~chiluk/lp1523606/

I also added dep3 header information.

For ease of review I attached the updated xenial debdiff here, and deleted all old debdiffs.

This bug was fixed in the package crash - 7.1.1-1ubuntu5
