Hmmm. Well if it were me I would probably try commenting out all the
pincn DLEs other than the /boot one, and see if running just that one --
which is presumably both small and simple -- dump still caused a crash.
(Or you could just manually execute "amdump CONFIG picnc /boot" to kick
off a run of just that one DLE, if that doesn't mess up your tape cycle,
etc. too much.)

(Well that does sound nice. Is there a debian-arm forum or mailing list?
Such a group might have the right overlap of general ARM-and-Debian and
specific rpi-hardware knowledge....)

Fingers crossed the core dump gives you some useful information.
One other idea occurred to me: if you leave "top" running on picnc in an
ssh session while Amanda starts up, then with luck when the system
crashes the terminal window will still show the output of "top" at that
moment.
