Subject[PATCH -mm] Disable core ulimit for user core process
Date
[I can't remember if I already sent this one off or not. If yes
please ignore the dup.]
[This is an incremental patch for the user-core patch series which
is in -mm]

Disable core files for pipe user helpers

This addresses one of the review comments earlier for the user core
patchkit: when the core dump handler is executed make sure there
is no potential for recursion in case it crashes again.

This currently does it for all pipe user mode helpers. In theory
it could be done only for core dump user helpers, but there are
currently no other users of this function.
