  Why does it work *sometimes* then?  Or was this particular problem
introduced more recently than the 6.2 branch?

  I have two apparently similarly configured systems running 6.2p8,
with identical hardware, identical apps, and identical load, and I have
at least attempted to configure them the same way.  Both have
/var/crash set up and "dumpon" enabled in rc.conf.  Both crashed in the
last week.  I got a dump on one, which I now need to analyze, but have
twice failed to get a dump on the other.  (Once this past week, once
the previous month.)
