I can make system lockup easily.  With sandpoint NAS, running snapshot
dump causes an immediate trouble.

I was running telnet session in other window.  The command line shell worked
during the lockup happens, but running a new command stucks at the point.

db> ps

Note that dump(8) could not reach "parallel dump session" phase.  the /store
filesys is WAPBL enabled. It seems a scheduler issue.
