Hi,

I am running one test on my ARM system which checks the sysfs file
system's whole directory recursively and checks its file permission.
While I perform this test, I face random (as in varies the nature of
crash sometimes) crashes like one mentioned below.

->ls -l -R *

Any clues for debugging ?
