That's because there's a typo in the article. You are the first that
notice it. The pdump files are generated by the process dump facility.
The dumpdata files are from the system dump facility.

If you are going to leave the trap dump enabled, you should consider
using:

TRAPDUMP=R0

rather than the recommended:

TRAPDUMP=ON

This way you only get system dumps for kernel traps. Process traps will
get popuplog entries which is often enough and saves a chkdsk.

The trap you captured:

GKCONTNT.DLL 0001:00129e7d

is a known problem with Mozilla. There should be a fix for it in the next
day or so. Keep an eye on the Mozilla newsgroup.
