To get it back to the earth. We're talking about issue on OpenBSD 4.4
buildbot here and OpenBSD does not provide valgrind. Valgrind is quite
Linux-only beast.

More importantly:

bash-3.2$ pwd
/home/buildbot
bash-3.2$ ulimit -a
core file size          (blocks, -c) unlimited
data seg size           (kbytes, -d) 524288
file size               (blocks, -f) unlimited
max locked memory       (kbytes, -l) 164961
max memory size         (kbytes, -m) 493264
open files                      (-n) 128
pipe size            (512 bytes, -p) 1
stack size              (kbytes, -s) 4096
cpu time               (seconds, -t) unlimited
max user processes              (-u) 64
virtual memory          (kbytes, -v) 528384
bash-3.2$ find . -name 'core*'
bash-3.2$

translated to human language this means: although core file size is
unlimited hence OS is allowed to save the core of the crashing process,
there is no core file in the buildbot home. i.e. darcs probably has not
segfaulted.

Cheers,
