Sorry about causing some problems on Saturday no less. My guess is this is from 
the finalize core save ranges, specifically how we roll up all the memory 
ranges. My first thinking out loud question is why this isn't happening on 
Linux Minidumps, but I know MacOS and Linux differ on what the kernel says if 
the page is dirty.

I'll look into it on Monday and appreciate the investigation assistance
