Question re: core dump...
Hello all, I have a couple of questions... What is it exactly a core dump? And what should I do if I have one? Is there a certain cleanup or repair process I need to go thru?

You can just erase the core file, it contains a memory image of the program which may help you to debug it (if you had the sources). You might want to report it as a bug, no debian program should core dump in normal circumstances. Jason -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word unsubscribe to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .

The purpose of this is so that if you want, you can load the core file into a debugger and figure out where it crashed. As far as cleanup goes, you should probably remove any core files that you have, as they generally take up lots of space. No other cleanup process needs to be performed... hope that helps. -alan Thank you!! -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word unsubscribe to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
