Hmmm...Off to the linux newsgroups :) Nope. First off, 1.2.13 is out :) Second of all, unlimited means ABSOLUTELY NOTHING here :) Bash is pulling a quickie over ya :) Just type ulimit -c <maxcorefilesizehere> BEFORE running autorun and you'll be fine. I use ulimit -c 400000. You'll find the core file in the lib/ subdir if (and when) the process dumps core. (Also, I think this exact ulimit question is in the Linux-FAQ or one of the HOWTO's ... ) (Now for the Advanced Linux Hackers, I *THINK* in the 1.2 and 1.3 code there is an old remnant of some code that added the pid to the core file name (i.e. core-1121) I saw it mentioned somewhere on the Linux Kernel Devel list...it would be REAL nice if someone undertook that project... Course, you got a buggy mud, wait till your HD fills with cores... :) )
