Calling the program in /proc/sys/kernel/core_pattern when it is a pipe
even on ulimit 0 is a design choice, not a bug. We do not want to enable
ulimit -c gemerally just for getting apport reports, since that would
clutter the system with core files. (This now made it into the upstream
kernel,
Yes still a problem on gutsy with standard kernel:

Hi Padraig,
Can you confirm this is still an issue with the new 7.10 Gutsy Gibbon
release (2.6.22-14 kernel). Thanks!

wrt the kernel ignoring the crashdump helper for SIGQUIT,
it should be ignoring anyway as `ulimit -c 0` was set!
I.E. there seems to be an ubuntu specific bug here in that
the apport helper (or whatever is in /proc/sys/kernel/core_pattern)
is called even when one does `ulimit -c 0`
I tested
On a debian sarge system with updated kernel to 2.6.20-1
I see the expected good behaviour also:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] echo |/bin/true /proc/sys/kernel/core_pattern
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ulimit -c 0

Apport generates a report on SIGQUIT
apport is called whenever the kernel would create a core dump, and
currently SIGQUIT is in the set of signals which trigger a core dump.
However, I agree that apport should just ignore these.

Status: Unconfirmed = In Progress
I'm going to ignore SIGQUIT core dumps in apport, but it would be nice
if the kernel would not call the crashdump helper and dump core for
SIGQUIT in the first place, so that we do not waste the resources.
