Now running a new /unix. No user-visible changes; the only thing that
has changed is that the kernel core-dumper, used after crashes, now
dumps *all* of memory in 8KB blocks rather than dumping only the first
quarter-meg in 512B blocks. (Actually, the code now decides which
algorithm to use by determining whether the processor has a Unibus
map, i.e. more than a quarter-meg of memory, on the fly.) This is
tentative until I get a chance to verify that the dump tape from today's
test really has a valid memory image on it.
