Is there some reason why an entire RAM image is dumped when it finally writes it out to swap space ? Well, close enough to, it always dumps 64M from my box wth 128M RAM in it. In comparison, when running Solaris-x86 on the same box, I might see a 20MB crash dump written (with the same amount of activity). Also, Solaris7 apparently writes crash dumps to swap/dump partitions in a compressed format now (something to think about adding to FreeBSD).
