[comp.sys.dec] no core dump on seg fault

wagner@procase.UUCP (Mark Wagner) (12/01/89)

Using a Decstation 3100 I occasionally run into a problem in which
segmentation faults DO NOT produce a core dump.  I've ruled out most
of the usual suspects such as not enough file space, permissions,
etc.  It seems that the same program faulting *sometimes* produces
a core dump and sometimes does not.

If anyone knows why this might be I'd appreciate hearing.  (Note
that other users at our site have experienced the same behavior.)
