Re: [Crash-utility] [PATCH] Increase limit for get_syment_array() call to 400

this patch increases the limit in the get_syment_array() call from
200 to 400. This is a workaround.
Andreas Krebbel already worked to resolve the problem in binutils which prevents
that symbols from being included in System.map.

However, since there are kernels (all 2.6.28 at least) out that contain that
problem, we should also workaround that in crash in my opinion.

I don't like this patch, mainly because it's a waste of space to even
accept those types of symbols in the first place.
Instead they should be recognized and rejected in the s390_verify_symbol()
and s390x_verify_symbol() functions.
