Hello!
I was using xps to try to see what the problem was with a user's
xmath PS file. Xps gave me a bus error, but no core dump. I did
unlimit, and cd'ed to /usr/tmp. I ran xps again, but to other one
seemed to be taking up too much memory, so I tried to xkill it (very bad
move). The result was two core dumps, one in /usr/tmp, one in /, and me
staring at "Hit any key to start", feeling very foolish. All my
processes seemed to still be running (minus an Xserver or two). I put
the core dumps in /mit/bitbucket/core.root, and
/mit/bitbucket/core.usr.tmp. The /usr/tmp one in 12 Meg, so let me know
when you are done.
