i'm still confused about why seg faults are not dropping
corefiles.
there's no ulimit in /etc/profile or in a .profile or a .bashrc.
ulimit says "unlimited". setting it explicitly (ulimit -c 0)
has no effect either.
busybox init has a special feature to drop core files when there's
a specially named file present, and not otherwise. but oxygen uses
miguel's init, which has no setrlimits in it at all.
as an experiment, i went back to the /lib/lib* from nov 2000
oxygen. tar doesn't seg fault, ssh mkhostkey doesn't seg fault,
but more still does, as before. it's mystifyin'.
i'm about to break out strace.
