Wait a minute, didn't we just have this discussion about setuid script
not dumping core? (I know we did, I stuck my neck out at got it wrung
abit..) Actually what it turns out to be is a process where the ruid
!= euid the system won't dump core for it.. So if the Solaris login is
dumping core when someone envokes in on the command line, it must be
doing a setuid(0) early in the code.. I wonder why?
