after a panic and a core dump i was quite surprised to see that one of my previous core dumps got overwritten. is this behaviour controlled by a sysctl parameter and has changed recently? i had the following contents in /var/crash: bounds core.txt.0 core.txt.1 core.txt.2 info.0 info.1 info.2 minfree vmcore.0 vmcore.1 vmcore.2 after a panic and core dump core.txt.1, info.1 and vmcore.1 got replaced. i'm running r195712 (8.0-BETA2). alex i'm running r195712.
