A core dump is caused when the program does something 'wrong'. It is similar to the Win95 'The task has executed an illegal.....' You can just erase the core file, it contains a memory image of the program which may help you to debug it (if you had the sources). You might want to report it as a bug, no debian program should core dump in normal circumstances. Jason -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
