Actually, i made the kernel dump a core image tonight.  relatively
easy...  The hard part is making savecore and libkvm understand it.
_that_'s not yet been done.

However, it is on my todo list, with reasonable priority.  (actually,
i've been meaning to clean up the 'new' libkvm's internals for a
while, since as of the last time i looked it contained some severe
brokenness...  I guess this'll give me a chance to do that, too... 8-)
