  12. | A few weeks or even months ago I have read some discussion about the problem
  13. | of preventing a core-dump.
  14.  
  15. Two simple solutions are -
  16.  
  17. (i)    Run the core-dumping program from a directory where the user does
  18.     not have permission to create file.
  19.  
  20. (ii)    Set the Effective-User-ID of the program different from its
  21.     Real-User-ID.
