I forgot to mention this fixes PR#868, and my un-emailed gripes about 
dumpon and savecore not working right in the middle of a major 
kernel panic run......   (savecore is currently, reliably and 
repeatedly causing a panic in vm_bounce_page_free()).

[ I can also reliably and repeatedly panic the system with
  'dd if=/dev/rsd0s1b of=/dev/null bs=1024k'
  (a 32MB system with bounce buffering enabled).  ]
