savecore vs. hw.physmem

Hi,

To reduce kernel dump sizes, one can set the hw.physmem kernel env var
to a small value at boot time. However, recently I experienced that
savecore(8) fails to fetch the dump if the actually used physmem size
differs from the one used at dump time.

Could this be fixed?

Thanks,
Csaba
