>Description:
Regex for grabbing ptrace flags for kdump is not inclusive enough.

Before fix:

CALL  ptrace(<invalid=5>, ...)

After fix:

CALL  ptrace(PT_WRITE_D, ...)


>How-To-Repeat:
ktrace something that uses ptrace(PT_WRITE_D,...) then use kdump to view results.

>Fix:
apply patch below.  It appears that no extraneous garbage is picked up by the modified regex (which just adds '_' is an additional character).
