>Description:
/etc/rc.d/savecore should have its dependecies set such that it runs
before swap1.  Since the dump device is normally a swap partition,
if swap1 runs first, it will swapon that partition before savecore runs,
thus preventing it from recovering the core dump.

>How-To-Repeat:
rcorder /etc/rc.d/*; observe that savecore comes after swap1
>Fix:
Should be trivial, but I don't know whether savecore should have a
BEFORE: swap1, or swap1 should depend on savecore, or whether some 
more generic dependency should be added.
