generating core dumps

[bjorn rohde jensen]

Hi Saggu,

  The generation of core files is a platform thing;)
On UNIX systems there is generally a core file size
system limit, which you might want to have a look at
using 'limit', 'ulimit' or something. The limit might
be smaller than the process image. Secondly, not all
signals cause core dumps by default. You might be able
to configure that on certain platforms, or alternatively
install a signal handler, which calls abort, for the
signal in question.

Yours sincerely,

Bjorn
