That's a very good point, and thank you for pointing it outtt, though in these Latter Days of the Law few people have access to anyone else's /tmp directory.

You can also arrange for ed to never core dump using setrlimit(), which is Posix. > Mostly the above is "just me" expressing disinterest. > I have no problem with that.
