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.) -- Mark Wagner, ProCASE Corporation. 408-727-0714 ...!tolerant!procase!wagner
