Not to talk about corelating the core file with a program plus doing something useful with it. I a program I wrote years ago I did this: The log handler did flush the log whenever an error or more important had been output; it did not flush the log for debug messages or similar (I had fatal errors, errors, warnings, informational messages, and debug messages). Assuming that the program will crash only after some problem had been detected, this might help.
