Because s390 kernel System.map contains symbols that repeat very often grep -c 'L2^B1$' System.map-2.6.27.7-4-default 276 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. http://sourceware.org/ml/binutils/2009-01/msg00181.html 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.
