Seconded. Also reported in [1]. The status of this issue is also the
same in Wheezy's linux-image-3.0.0-1-amd64 and experimental's
linux-image-3.1.0-rc7-amd64_3.1.0~rc7-1~experimental.1_amd64.deb

I haven't been able to figure out if enabling CONFIG_CRASH_DUMP adds
any overhead at all. Are there other reasons for not enabling it?
