what is it and do I need it ..?

It's a core dump of memory. Do: size core

and it will tell you what program dumped it, and then think back to what you were doing with that proggy at 18:41 on 15 Apr and think what might have gone wrong; otherwise rm -f kcore

note:I am heartily sick and tired of telemarketers, therefore I do not answer phone calls which do not present Caller Line Identification, they get flicked to voicemail.  I apologise if this inconveniences you, and I respect your right to not identify yourself, but I also ask that you respect my right to not answer your call if you choose not to identify yourself.  Try dialing 1832 (#32# from mobiles) before the number, to present Caller Line Identification.
