# XXX - it might be useful to try to catch core dumps and, if we find
# one, fire up some tool to try to get a stack trace. That's rather
# platform-dependent - not all platforms create a core dump file named
# "core" in the current directory (OS X, for example, defaults to
# "/cores/core.{PID}"), and the name of the debugger and commands to
# pass to it are platform-dependent (and you might not even have one
# installed).
# XXX - on OS X, core dumps are in /cores/core.{PID}; would they appear
# elsewhere on any other UN*X?
