Looks like you arne't acquiring the allproc_lock before walking the
process list, which means the process list could change while the code is
running.  That might be one source of a problem.  I think you also don't
need Giant there.  Also, you probably want to check that the process isn't
in the PRS_NEW state, otherwise it might not be fully initialized.

You don't mention what crash, btw -- is it a page fault?  If so, is the
faulting address close to 0 (NULL)?
