        The only core I have on the machine are

/dev/core
/home/rsync/gcc/gcc/gcc/config/mcore
/subversions/cvs/common/gnumach/linux/dev/net/core
/subversions/cvs/common/gnumach/linux/src/net/core
/subversions/cvs/common/guile/guile-core
/subversions/cvs/common/hurd/pfinet/linux-src/net/core
/subversions/cvs/software/gnustep/gnustep/core
/usr/src/linux/net/core

        given the fact that I did the search a week after it happens I'm
not sure if a cron job could have killed it...

        I'll try to search for a core the next time it happens. Any
idea where the core would be ? If you know that already that would
help, otherwise I'll try to find out. I realize that I don't know what
is the working directory of lshd.

        Cheers,
