Hi,
I can't reproduce crashes here, runs and runs.
but..
For grabbing crash data, you can use a serial console on another box or if you have a line-printer, you can use that as a console. IKD+KDB can be very useful for grabbing snapshots of odd events too. (I have a freshly extracted 2.3.15-2 diff (~100k gzipped) sitting here in case anyone needs one)
