but Bill has beaten me on this. ;-)
However, he missed the part to compute the kernelsize in kilobytes,
so the minfree consideration was now overcautious. (I've also
changed the return type of dump_size() to void since int was useless.)
Being here, the fact that `vmcore' was written world-readable was just
a plain security hole: everybody who was able to crash a kernel could
later read any confidential information out of it at his will. Create
it with umask 077 instead.
- make minfree work by getting the dump size before checking to see
if the dump will fit on the filesystem
- also fail to dump if no minfree is specified but there are not enough
free blocks.

fclosed twice and this didn't seem to cause any problems, but when
/var/crash was on an an unwritable nfs-mounted partition, fclose(NULL)
caused a core dump.
DANGER WILL ROBINSON!
_PATH_UNIX is currently defined as the literal string "don't use this".
I am of two minds about this myself, but wanted to get something into the
tree as quickly as possible.
