dumpon

I was hacking at the time server (I have chrony on my Linux box, I couldn't 
get it to compile on DFly), found dntpd, tried to start it, and got an error 
about dumpon. So I booted the computer and when it tried to run dumpon, it 
said "device busy". I then commented swap out of /etc/fstab and rebooted. It 
gave the same error. Since it's supposed to save dumps to the swap space, why 
was the device busy, when I turned the swap space off? I'd like to make this 
work so that I can get a crash dump of my kernel panic bug.
