[SunHELP] Core file

[James]

It means something crashed. When the software puked the O/S caught it and
wrote the core. Core contains info about stacks, registers, software, etc.
Its used for the postmortem investigation.

btw.. core can contain sensitive security information, so don't email it
to all your buddies (it will be too big to email anyways).
