More information on core-dumps:
As listed in my previous post, I’m looking at finding out more about coredumps. The page I found the info below on lists that the limit is the maximum size of a process image that a coredump would be generated from.
However, the file will not be created unless your “core dump size limit” is set high enough to accomodate the core dump file.
Unfortunately, it doesn’t refer to the Unix/Linux version used and the age of the information is also unknown. So further investigation ensues.
