Bug description:
[Impact]
Some analysis won't be possible on new kernels (hwe-edge on xenial, for example; or the standard bionic kernel).
[Test Case]
The ipcs command has been run after the fix was applied to crash, on a live amd64 system, with success.
[Regression Potential]
Analysis of crashed kernels will require that the crash file be moved to a system where crash doesn't have the regression. The patch, however, should touch only the broken command, and has been tested.

Issue is observed even with old kernel.
