Re: What are all these core files?

Hi,

Well, they seem to be dumps of the corresponding programs:) If you keep getting them even after deleting all, then something must continuously restart one or more programa that always terminate abnormally.

Best regards,
r0ller

Tárgy: What are all these core files?
Címzett: netbsd-users%netbsd.org@localhost (Link -> mailto:netbsd-users%netbsd.org@localhost)
 
I have suddenly started getting all of these core files in my home
directory. If I delete them they just show up the next day again. They
don't even appear to relate to actual programs. They seem to be related
to screensavers. Does anyone know where they are coming from?
Running NetBSD current as of Jul 26, 2018 on AMD64.
