core.txt.N not created anymore on panic

[Jeremie Le Hen]

Hi,

Early May I set ddb_enable="YES" (crashinfo_enable="YES" by default).
Upon panic, it created the following kind of files:

-rw-------  1 root  wheel         549 Jun 26 22:09 info.0
-rw-------  1 root  wheel  1518501888 Jun 26 22:09 vmcore.0
-rw-------  1 root  wheel      196981 Jun 26 22:09 core.txt.0
-rw-------  1 root  wheel         546 Jun 26 23:15 info.1
-rw-------  1 root  wheel   472608768 Jun 26 23:15 vmcore.1
-rw-------  1 root  wheel      207034 Jun 26 23:15 core.txt.1
-rw-------  1 root  wheel         546 Jun 27 00:47 info.2
-rw-------  1 root  wheel   667717632 Jun 27 00:47 vmcore.2
-rw-------  1 root  wheel      208745 Jun 27 00:48 core.txt.2
-rw-------  1 root  wheel         549 Jul  3 14:40 info.3
-rw-------  1 root  wheel  1455198208 Jul  3 14:40 vmcore.3
-rw-------  1 root  wheel      208173 Jul  3 14:41 core.txt.3

The core.txt.N files contained crashinfo(8) informations along with
ddb textdump, because crashinfo(8) outputs dmesg.


Yesterday, I upgraded to latest -CURRENT from one from June 9th.  While
stress-testing overnight, I got a couple of panics but core.txt.N are
not created anymore.

-rw-------  1 root  wheel         530 Jul 17 01:10 info.5
-rw-------  1 root  wheel       75776 Jul 17 01:10 textdump.tar.5
-rw-------  1 root  wheel         529 Jul 17 02:01 info.6
-rw-------  1 root  wheel       74240 Jul 17 02:01 textdump.tar.6
-rw-------  1 root  wheel         530 Jul 17 04:20 info.7
-rw-------  1 root  wheel       74752 Jul 17 04:20 textdump.tar.7
-rw-------  1 root  wheel         530 Jul 17 07:50 info.8
-rw-------  1 root  wheel       92672 Jul 17 07:50 textdump.tar.8
-rw-------  1 root  wheel         531 Jul 17 08:44 info.9
-rw-------  1 root  wheel      110592 Jul 17 08:44 textdump.tar.9

Each textdump.tar.N contains:

tar tvf /var/crash/textdump.tar.9 
-rw-------  0 root   wheel   49152 Jul 17 08:30 ddb.txt
-rw-------  0 root   wheel    3179 Jul 17 08:30 config.txt
-rw-------  0 root   wheel   54137 Jul 17 08:30 msgbuf.txt
-rw-------  0 root   wheel      88 Jul 17 08:30 panic.txt
-rw-------  0 root   wheel     120 Jul 17 08:30 version.txt

Any idea changed in between?  I checked svn log in etc/ but I found
nothing relevant.
