Moving this to -current and -stable and following up...

Something is broken with coredumps on stable/8 amd64.  I tried a vanilla =
8.2-RC3 and yesterday's csup of stable/8; neither can dump a core with =
'sysctl debug.kdb.panic=3D1'.

For the 8.2-RC3 / amd64 / GENERIC install, I used the memstick image, =
installed on ad7 (a 250GB SATA drive), used the default partition map, =
and set dumpdev to AUTO.

I added enough tracing to show that the second panic is due to the =
syncer process flushing buffers to the other filesystems in parallel =
with the dump.  I've seen this panic and a similar one 'buffer not =
locked' coming from ffs_write().  One time out of about 30 the core ran =
to completion, but slowly (~1MB/sec).  Other times the dump just locks =
up completely with no other output.

Does anyone know what might have changed to expose this problem?

I don't ever see it under 7.1.

Thanks,
 Andrew
