Can anybody offer any explanation for savecores inability to save the core
image? It runs on a 750 with BSD4.2 with 1 RA60 and 1 RA81 drive. The 
savecore in the rc.local goes to the RA81:

/etc/savecore /usr01/crash/system  >/dev/console

The RA81 has plenty of room. No error messages are generated and savecore 
indicates that it was successful, yet no core appears in or along the path. 
In looking thru the list of 4.2 bugs I came across a bug for alternate system 
images but have not applied the patch yet. Our sources have not localisms so I
must be missing something totally simple-minded. Any ideas folks?
