Is there a way to convince the system of dumping despite this? The system panics quite often since I crossed the 4gb memory boundary and it never dumps. I think that a minidump should in most cases fit well into my swap space. I'm running RELENG_8. Regards -- A: Because it fouls the order in which people normally read text.
