Hi,

I think the best way is to port version 1 for vanilla 2.4.27
to 2.4.32. (I have not trid yet though.)

Oops. Maybe someone (in the kernel functions) is into infinite loop
(but still interrupt is enable).
A crash dump tool may not be usefull becase the hook which calls 
dump caputuring function is not called in this case.
(If this were infinite loop with interrupt disable case, nmi_watchdog
 is usefull.)

Thanks.
