What is a core dump and can anything be inferred from it ?
When your (or some) program crashed it dumped core. Basically the
corefile contains state information on the program, so if you fire up
gdb with the corefile as an additional argument
% gdb program core
you can get access to some info like where the program died (this is
really only useful if you compiled in debugging info with -g to the
compiler).
For more info, refer to the gdb man/info pages.
