Hi,

It seems that we have a potential livelock during coredump on 7.0-R, the
case was that two processes trying to coredump in the same time (e.g. if
I configure kern.corefile=/var/tmp/%N.core and a lot of instances
coredump in the same time), perhaps when paging involved with it.  Upon
reboot, it would not recover but wait infinitely.  The box is running
7.0-R/i386, UP (Origin = "GenuineIntel"  Id = 0xf34  Stepping = 4).

Is this an known issue?  This is my own server but I do not have my
hands on it because it is in China, however I can provide some help if
the experiment can be recovered with a power-cycle :)

Cheers,
