That's a NULL pointer de-reference - it Shouldn't Happen(TM).  Can you
get a backtrace from kgdb ("where")?

The most likely problem is that your vmcore file doesn't match your kernel.
Are you running kgdb with the same kernel as was running when the system
crashed?  (If you don't have that kernel handy, you might as well delete
vmcore.0).
