Sorry for wasting your time.
I changed my thunderbird's setting according to the above site.

Thank you for merging them into linux-2.6.23-rc6-mm1.
Additionally, could you merge the following patches to clean up
add-vmcoreinfo.patch ?
[PATCH 5/4] [-mm patch] Rename macros returning the size.
The #define SIZE() should be renamed STRUCT_SIZE() since it's always
returning the size of the struct with a given name. This would allow
TYPEDEF_SIZE() to simply become SIZE() since it need not be used
exclusively for typedefs. This idea is David Rientjes's.

[PATCH 6/4] [-mm patch] use the existing offsetof().
It is better that offsetof() is used for VMCOREINFO_OFFSET().
This idea is Joe Perches's.
Thanks
