Hello!

I'm getting a message at crash time:

Nov 29 16:54:23 tango /kernel: Out of mbuf clusters - increase maxusers!

Followed shortly on bootup by:

Nov 29 17:04:57 tango savecore: no core dump

My question: why the hell isn't there a core dump?

I believe I've followed all the necessary steps to ensure a dump.  Here's
some sysctl output:

  machdep.do_dump: 1
  kern.dumpdev: { major = 4, minor = 131073 }

From rc.conf:

  dumpdev="/dev/sd0s1b"       

And that device:

  brw-r-----  1 root  operator    4, 0x00020001 Apr 15  1999 /dev/sd0s1b

Here's pstat -s:

  Device      512-blocks     Used    Avail Capacity  Type
  /dev/sd0s1b    2048000    15728  2032144     1%    Interleaved

So what's going on?  This is on a 2.2.8 release.  Anyone know of a stock
problem with it?
