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).
