MacOS X dumps core files into /cores/core.$PID, and at least some Linux systems seem to dump them into ./core.$PID I don't know how universal this is. I think a bigger objection to the SIGSTOP stuff is that a lot of bugs are too real time to ever be meaningfully caught that way. -- Robert Haas EnterpriseDB: http://www.enterprisedb.com The Enterprise PostgreSQL Company -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
