Hi all, I noticed today I had several large core dumps in my home directory, and two buried under my public_html directory. The directories I found them in contained no executables and as far as I know were not working directories for executables (just PHP scripts used by the web server), so I can't imagine how they got there.

This exceeded my hard quota without my knowledge. Any idea what's up with this? Can I prevent it from reoccurring? Thanks.
