The octave-core file is just an octave save file that contains the
variables in the top-level workspace. It is intended to help you
avoid losing all your work if Octave crashes. But it seems that it is
a common misconception that this file can somehow be used for
debugging. Maybe simply changing the name to be something like
octave-crash-workspace-PID would help avoid the confusion? If there
is agreement, I can make this change.
I don't think so. Octave is very clearly saying
attempting to save variables to 'octave-core'...
so saved variables are what you should expect in the file, and a who
does not bother reading messages just gets what he deserves.
