I'm messing with someone elses code which has a lot of traps for segsegv
signals are set up which I want to avoid. How can I force a program to
core dump in the signal handler? I can't just remove the signal(SIGSEGV
calls because half of them are in libraries. I want a bloody core dump so
I can figure out why the damn program is crashing!
