Log Message:
Pull up revision 1.64 (requested by tls in ticket #650):
Fix an integer overflow that prevented saving cores from machines with
more than 2GB of RAM.
"dumpsize" in the on-disk core header is in pages, but, unfortunately,
c.size in our kcore format is an unsigned 32-bit int, gross.
We sleaze it, using a 64-bit int internally here and handing it to
libkvm as a *signed* 32-bit int. Won't always work, but shouldn't be
broken any worse than it is now, and sometimes work better.
We must fix the kcore format and libkvm.
