Jeff,

If you have the time, could you add a page wrt. sysdump.c32 to the wiki ?

     http://syslinux.zytor.com/wiki/index.php/Category:Comboot

This community is (at a slow pace) documenting the various c32 modules, 
and I am sure your experiences with sysdump.c32 would be useful to others.

As a basis you can start from the README at:

     http://git.kernel.org/?p=boot/syslinux/syslinux.git;a=blob_plain;f=com32/sysdump/README;hb=HEAD

Thanks in advance,
