Success! Thanks Mr. McKusick.

 

I posted having this problem to the FreeBSD forum
http://forums.freebsd.org/showthread.php?t=25787, but wanted to emphasize
that in two VirtualBox VMs that were created in exactly the same way, the
dump issue didn't occur in the absolutely fresh FreeBSD-9.0 install (not
even portsnap yet), but it did occur in the system I had installed some
ports on (an Apache/MySQL/Python stack, a few additional GNU build tools,
and some other miscellaneous ports). I don't know if this means anything,
just hoping it might help - presumably SU+J would be a good thing.  ;)

 

Regards,

Dale
