This is the release of crash gcore command, version 1.3.2.
This release includes a fix for the issue reported by Eric Ewanco and
some bugfixes found on 4.8 kernel.
ChangeLog:
- Fix a Segmentation fault issue caused by NULL pointer dereference
due to a renaming of symbol old_rsp to rsp_scratch at the commit
ac9af4983e77765a642b5a21086bc1fdc55418c4, triggered by the commit
263042e4630a85e856b4a8cd72f28dab33ef4741 that changes a saving
location of user stack pointer in syscall path from
thread_struct::usersp to pt_regs at the bottom of kernel stack.

- Fix a runtime error with an error message "invalid structure member
offset: thread_struct_fs" due to a renaming of fs/gs members of
thread_struct on x86 to fsbase/gsbase. Without this fix, gcore
exits abnormally without producing any core file on this issue.

- Fix a Segmentation fault issue caused by NULL pointer dereference
due to buffer overrun during a copy of floating pointer register
values onto a buffer allocated on the stack where detected size of
the copied floating register values are too large, larger than
prepared buffer size. This fix makes the copying floating pointer
register values more fail safe to make sure at least that such
detection of wrong data structure size doesn't make gcore process
abnormally terminate.
