The other day someone hinted that sparse-dump was sysctl'd, but I don't 
seem to have it:

        quicky:paul {399} uname -rsm
        NetBSD 5.99.14 amd64
        quicky:paul {400} sysctl -a | grep -e dump -e sparse
        kern.dump_on_panic = 1
        kern.coredump.setid.dump = 0
        kern.coredump.setid.path = /var/crash/%n.core
        kern.coredump.setid.owner = 0
        kern.coredump.setid.group = 0
        kern.coredump.setid.mode = 0600 (rw------- )
        proc.curproc.rlimit.coredumpsize.soft = unlimited
        proc.curproc.rlimit.coredumpsize.hard = unlimited
        quicky:paul {401}

How do I get sparse-dump?  :)
