What is the "core"?
Basically when a process crashes on Unix from a segmentation fault (or for a couple of other reasons) the operating system can take a snapshot of the memory of the process and write it to a "core" file. Whether the OS will actually do this is controlled by things like the RLIMIT_CORE which can be set with "ulimit -c" and in the case of Linux by some stuff in /proc.
