The /proc/vmcore shows 4GB:

  # ls -l /proc/vmcore
  -r-------- 1 root root 4164192032 Aug  1 10:57 /proc/vmcore
  #

I forgot to mention that the resultant, usable, vmcore-incomplete files are consistently the same size, reflecting the mem=2000m kernel option:

   # ls -l
   total 435020
   -r-------- 1 root root 1967558656 Aug  1 11:47 vmcore-incomplete
   #

So, is this a bug or a feature?

Dave
