    Hi Joseph:

    Sometimes, you can use the kernel debugger to have a look at core dumps.
    The syntax is
    "kdb -w <corefile> -u /unix". If you get a "corefile corrupted" dialogue,
    your next best bet
    is just to run "strings" against it, like this: "strings corefile | more".
    This will give you all of the text
    included in the coredump, and it's been my experience that text is usually
    sufficient to
    find out what's going wrong in your system.

    Is there an application program to look at the core dump
    and places of possible significant clues to analyze dump?
