In my daily survey of /var/tmp, I was pleased to find a root
core file on bart-savagewood:

[bart-savagewood!jhawk] /var/tmp> ls -l core.root
-rw-r--r--   1 root     root      244108 Jun 10 15:28 core.root


It appears to be from inetd:

[bart-savagewood!jhawk] /var/tmp> file core.root
core.root:      ELF 32-bit MSB core file SPARC Version 1, from 'inetd'

Specifically the athena one:
[bart-savagewood!jhawk] /var/tmp> ident core.root
core.root:

gdb (since it's gcc2_compiled) reports:

You can find a copy of the core dump in
/mit/coredumps/jhawk/athena.inetd.814.core.

Joanne, as one of the principal space-eaters of the coredumps locker,
would you mind if system:quality deletes your Xserver cores?
