No I don't have 8Gig of ram (although I'm quite willing to accept
donations ;-)).  

I do have 8 Gigs of on-disk swap space (spread over two wd*b
partitions).  I just *assumed* the kernel could make use of a
swap_space greater than address_space.  (Was I wrong???)

Looking at src/sbin/savecore/savecore.c, it does look like the
"dumplo" variable is a "long" and it can easily overflow.  Perhaps
thats the only problem.  Perhaps this needs to be an offset_t or
something???
