While on the topic of 'dump', note that there's also the patch in
http://www.FreeBSD.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=bin/32414
which fixes a problem where dump will include information that
should not be included (due to the nodump flag being set). This
too would result in dump files larger than they "should" be...
The PR includes a patch which is meant to fix this problem.
