Nice to know, but not the problem here--the system comes up fully, I log
in, start some compiles, and eventually something locks the filesystem,
locks propagate to the root directory, then everything comes to a quiet
halt.

At this stage I want to force a crashdump.  I don't think I can get
/sbin/reboot -d to work (file system is hung up)....
