That basically "resumes" a core dump. no - they use dlopen() and dlsym() etc. to jump into executables after the fork (). but we could do this - store and early-stage coredump before any sockets/fd's are created... but then we'd need to store these cores too and have a nice way of finding them and restoring them... -- Carsten Haitzler (The Rasterman) <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
