Title:
Apport doesn't overwrite existing core files
Status in apport package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
While debugging some code, I noticed that existing core files aren't
being overwritten when they should be. According to core(5), the
following file should be overwritten, but it's not:
bam:/tmp$ id -un
gerald
bam:/tmp$ ls -l core
-rw------- 1 gerald gerald 3407872 2007-10-30 21:22 core
bam:/tmp$ date
Thu Nov 8 09:36:23 PST 2007
bam:/tmp$ ./coretst
Segmentation fault (core dumped)
bam:/tmp$ ls -l core
-rw------- 1 gerald gerald 3407872 2007-10-30 21:22 core
Creating the initial core file works fine:
bam:/tmp$ rm core
bam:/tmp$ ./coretst
Segmentation fault (core dumped)
bam:/tmp$ ls -l core
-rw------- 1 gerald gerald 163840 2007-11-08 09:36 core
bam:/tmp$ date
