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.
You can run "pstack core" to try to figure out what went wrong. I've never found pstack's output particularly useful, but it at least can usually identify the specific script that's causing the issue.
