The issue is the file system activity occurring in parallel with the coredump, 
which is strange.  It seems like everything else should be halted before the 
dump begins but I couldn't find a place in the code that actually tries to stop 
the other CPUs.

My question isn't about the initial panic (I was using the sysctl to provoke 
one), but about the secondary panic.

This is on 8-core systems.
