To follow up on myself:

'where' after the crash gives: (copied via paper)
ffs_write()   at ... +0x64e
vn_rdwr()     at ... +0xf1
vn_rdwr_inchuncks()    at ... +0x77
elf64_coredump()       at ... +0x1222
coredump()    at ... +0x5da
sigexit()     at ... +0x71
postsig()     at ... +0x30e
ast()         at ... +0x297
Xfas_syscall()         at ... +0xdd

------ syscall(0, FreeBSD ELF64, nosys)
    rip = 0x20067b8ec
    rsp = 0x7fffffffe678
    rbp = 0x2006de6c0

So it looks like the systems want to write a dump, but does not really get
to write it....

What more can I do??
