Barry's question is still open: do bugs naturally clump toward
the end of a release cycle, or do we all just suck?

I've never seen this behavior.  I'm trying to figure out how
you're ending up in vm-gobble-crash-box with a zero length
crash box file, since it should never be called unless there's
a non-zero length crash box.

But you've apparently found a way, so the code should be fixed to
deal with it.
