excerpt from kdump:

  1958 python2.7 RET   close -1 errno 9 Bad file descriptor
  1958 python2.7 CALL  close(0x5)

  1958 python2.7 CALL  close(0xe562a)
  1958 python2.7 RET   close -1 errno 9 Bad file descriptor
  1958 python2.7 CALL  close(0xe562b)
  1958 python2.7 RET   close -1 errno 9 Bad file descriptor

This has both a performance impact and an impact on the ability to debug
problems with python programs.
