If I remember correctly, I already had such a problem some time ago and
IMHO it would be very useful to have the possibility in crash to define
the current context.

Yeah, OK -- in fact, I've got to believe that there must be examples
that exist within the base kernel itself, and not just with modules.
Anyway, for crash-6.0.8 I'll queue up a "set context" (or "set
scope"?)
environment variable that takes a kernel/module text address -- with
a default of 0 to keep the behavior the same as it is now.
Thanks,
Dave
