npviewer.bin.core

2008-02-20 Thread Matthias Apitz

Hello,

 From time to time I see in my HOME a file:

$ ls -l npviewer.bin.core
-rw---   1 guru  wheel   12320768 19 feb 15:09 npviewer.bin.core

it seems that it's a core file from some nspluginwrapper:

# find /usr -name npviewer.bin -print
/usr/local/lib/nspluginwrapper/i386/linux/npviewer.bin

Is it worth to file a bug report or just remove it by cron job?
Thx

matthias

I would first try to investigate a little more WHY it dumps core. Perhaps
you just have a symlink or permission wrong somewhere, are missing a
dependency or who knows what else could be causing this. Hell, it might even
be a known problem already. If you can't find the cause - and nobody here
can either - there's always time for a bug report.

But those are just my thoughts,

There are no PRs - open or otherwise - with npviewer.bin or
nsplugginwrapper.
I'm also having a issue, which may or may not be related.

doesn't always work, and sometimes crashes X or even the machine.
