Impossible to rule it out of course, but this sounds unlikely. Many
of us developers perform dumps on SMP 6.2 systems regularly. There
were *many* changes between 6.0 and 6.2, and perhaps it is as simple
as your workload is exercising a slightly different code path or
timing. Using DDB you will be able to determine what the other
threads are doing at the time of crash and this should help to figure
out why dumping is failing.
