The core file isn't the kernel, from what I understand its the area of memory your program was using when it crashed.
You can use a debugging tool on core files (like gdb or kdbg)...i don't know how this will help you but thats about all I know about core files...and I'm not too good at c++ either. I remember along time back i found my hard disk filling up with core files so I asked some people on an IRC channel if they knew what the core files were. One guy replied and told me that if I collect 10 and send them away I could win a t-shirt. oh the hilarity :) i guess u had to be there.. On Thu, 2002-10-31 at 00:16, Bart s wrote: > Hello all.
