There is something really bad in NetBSD while doing a vmcore, in fact i haven't
been able to make a dump since i moved to NetBSD. I've reported it to netbsd-bug
a long ago, but nothing seemed to happen.
Basically the machine gets a trap while trying to make a dump, then reboots.
No vmcore is created.
Even if i call the diediedie routine from ddb this happens. It's a 386/40 with
4 M and 125 M ide drive with 8M swap.
Anyone with same experiences?
