BTW, how do I disable this feature ? If a program dies, I get "core" in who-knows-what directory ... A core of Netscape should be around 4Meg, and I only have 15Meg available ... :) Is there a kernel compile option to disable core dumps ? I am not that interested to do much debugging using cores, not to mention that my gdb complains when I try to load a core file ...
