If a compressed kdump is damaged/truncated such that the bitmap data
in the dumpfile header is not contained within the file, attempts
to analyze it with a vmlinux file, or using the "crash --osrelease"
or "crash --log" options with just the vmcore, will result in the
crash utility spinning forever, endlessly performing reads of 0 bytes
from the file without recognizing the EOF condition.
