Just remove every core file with # rm core
If you have more of them or you will do this job periodicaly, try this:
# find / -name core -exec rm {} \;
Executiong this on my system, i will get 2 error messages:
rm: /proc/sys/net/core is a directory
rm: /usr/src/linuy-2.2.5.SuSE/net/core is a directory
but they are OK, because i will only remove all core files - an i will
not remove any core directory!
Hope this helps.
