Kdump is not honoring "path" parameter

Issue

• Kdump is not honoring "path" parameter to dump vmcore file to non default location. /etc/kdump.conf contains following lines

  core_collector makedumpfile -d 31 -c       # throw out trival pages and compress (recommended) 
  ext3 /dev/sda5 
  path crash/ 
  

• When triggering kernal panic using 'echo c > /proc/sysrq-trigger' vmcore file is not being dumped to 'crash' dir on /dev/sda5/. Kdump is creating an empty directory, example: '127.0.0.1-2010-08-17-17:37:34', under 'crash' dir on /dev/sda5 and dumping vmcore to default, '/var/crash/'.
