 `options DODUMP' has not been meaningful for some time.  You should
 use the dumpon(8) command to set up a swap area for dumps during
 bootup.  (There should be hooks in /etc/sysconfig for this, but I
 don't recall if they are mine or in the distribution version.)

 This is precisely the sort of situation where having a port-mortem
 dump is incredibly valuable, since otherwise I can but guess at the
 cause of your problem.
