Very curious. JVMDUMP032I is documented here:

http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/javasdk/v5r0/index.jsp?topic=%2Fcom.ibm.java.doc.diagnostics.50%2Fdiag%2Fappendixes%2Fmessages50%2Fmessage_jvmdump032.html

But this relates to a JVM (Java Virtual Machine). The name FTPD9 is of the form 
FTPDn where n is in [1..9] and usually means that this is a FTP session (a 
remote computer connecting to the z/OS FTP server). Of course, this is just 
"normal usage" and not some sort of requirement. Have you looked into the 
files? You can easily do this using ISPF option 1 and putting that entire name 
in the "other" field.  The "pfa" in "/SYSTEM/var/pfa/Snap.<rest>" indicates, to 
me, that this may be part of the PFA software (Predictive Failure Analysis).
