actually, in the case of virtual machines, doing the dump *in* the
virtual machine into preallocated virtual disk blocks is silly. if you
can break the abstraction barriers a little, I'd think it would make
more sense for the virtual machine infrastructure to create some sort of
snapshot at the time of failure which could then be converted into a
form that mdb can digest...
