That's not quite true. There's no particular reason it can't be invoked
in any mode, but as the message indicates, there are some objects that
pdumper doesn't know how to dump. Packages maintaining these objects
should add-function to dump-emacs-portable to temporarily make these
objects disappear while a dump is in progress.
In any case, neither the dump nor load should actually segfault. A
segfault is a bug.
