Description

~$ savecore -f /export/scratch/vmdump.0 crash
savecore: open("/export/scratch/vmdump.0"): Permission denied

Again, with truss, shows:

open("/export/scratch/vmdump.0", O_RDWR|O_DSYNC) Err#13 EACCES [file_dac_write]

There's no good reason to open the dump RDWR when we're reading it from a file, and have no reason
to clear the valid bit.

Looks like I got faked out by the unexpected antiquity of the machine I was on.
