No, new cores. 'configure' regularly generates
programs that dump core, as part of its ordinary
working procedure.
Why not just use ulimit to not dump core? Or is that a bashism and not a shism?
The ulimit approach seems useful.
Blindly trying to remove a file named 'core' seems somewhat silly
since many OSs do not write a file named 'core'. Instead they write a
core file with some other file name or even write all core files to
some other directory on the system.
