That's not the compiler doing that - there is a limit on the size of core files that can be dumped, and a lot of Linux systems default this to 0. Say "ulimit -c <somenumber>" in bash to raise the limit. Note that for security reasons you can't get core dumps from processes running suid or sgid. -- Mark Brown mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] (Trying to avoid grumpiness) http://www.tardis.ed.ac.uk/~broonie/ EUFS http://www.eusa.ed.ac.uk/societies/filmsoc/
