Yeah; looking through, it looks to me like a few in the auth and fs
modules need to be changed to fatal_dump; the rest (over a hundred)
don't really need a core -- they're things like config parsing errors
and self-evident error states.
I'll come up with a patch that does that and adds a FATAL_DUMPS
compile-time flag with a 0 default.

The case that triggered this for me was when the log daemon dies;
doesn't make much sense to core there either.
I'll take a look through and report back.

Squid.conf is bloated as it is; if there are cases where a core
could
be conceivably useful, they should be converted to fatal_dump. From
what I've seen they'll be a small minority at best...
That I agree with. Grep the code for all fatals and see what falls
out.
I think you will find it's only the config parser that can get away
with
non-core fatals.

tools.c:fatal() dumps core because it calls abort.
Considering that the core can be quite large (esp. on a 64bit
system), and
that there's fatal_dump() as well if you really want one, can we
just make
fatal() exit(1) instead of abort()ing?
