Sorry about the delay. I was traveling last week. Unfortunately, I
don't know whether ->next was NULL on entry or not. I hacked up the
following ugly patch for the next test run. It should have everything
which has come up till now + list and hint sanity checking before
starting processing them. I'm planning on deploying it w/ crashdump
enabled in several days. If I've missed something, please let me
know.
Thanks.
