dump core while running

[Brad du Plessis <bradd%cat.co.za@localhost>]

Hi all,

Is there a way from within a userland app to get it to core dump and 
keep running? I'd like to see a full back trace with symbols etc. when a 
certain error (which is handled) happens within my code but I'd like the 
app to continue running. Searched a bit and couldn't find anything that 
dumps the core without killing the app too.

Thanks,
Brad
