Some signals default action is to cause the program to dump core, when they're delivered. You can see the list in the signal(3) man page. libc also provides the abort(3) function, which does what you want. The code is here: /usr/src/lib/libc/stdlib/abort.c Cheers, Vik -- PGP Key: 0xE09DC8D8/6799 4011 EBDE 6412 05A1 090C DBDF 5887 E09D C8D8 Signed/encrypted mail welcome!
