=============================
A "core dump" is a file left by a "crashed" program that would allow
someone who knows what they're doing (not me, hehehehe) to figure out
what might have gone wrong. If you're not sure what it is, my guess
is that it would be of little use to me (or me ;o) ). You can safely
delete such files.
