Well, i was about to commit most of the suggested patch from PR #1322, but Bill Fenner has beaten me on this. :) I've also moved the fix into the 2.1.X branch, so either all future versions of 2.2-current as 2.1.6 will come with a fixed savecore. (While i was there, i've also made savecore creating the vmcore file with mode 0600.) -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
