System name:		pit-manager
Type and version:	RTPC-ROMPC 7.1H
Display type:		apa16
			megapel

What were you trying to do?
	Get a crashdump of a kernel panic.

What's wrong:
	Savecore appears to save vmunix before it saves vmcore.
	In this particular instance, I would have had enough room for
	the vmcore if the vmunix hadn't been saved.

What should have happened:
	Since the vmcore is what has the most important information in
	it, it should be saved first.	

Please describe any relevant documentation references:
	None.
