Description

This test case verifies that a crash dump can be generated for a Fedora Xen DomU.

Make sure your dom0 is configured to automatically dump core when a guest crashes. This is typically set in the /etc/xen/xend-config.sxp file; you'll need to change the parameter #(enable-dump no) to (enable-dump yes), and restart xend on the dom0.
Inside the guest, run
```
$> echo c > /proc/sysrq-trigger
```
