Subject[PATCH] Fix kallsyms stem compression crash
[please cc, i'm not on the list]

the attached patch fixes the crash top or cat /proc/*/wchan produces when using KALLSYMS
it's a buffer overrun that should not happen. maybe 128 chars is just too small...i'm going to check that...
based on patch by andi kleen.

against 2.5.54. please apply.
