What are these files?
« on: September 16, 2005, 01:13:40 »
Hi All,

core.12107  12,956 KB
core.12047  12,944 KB
core.12195  12,952 KB

They have nothing to do with album.pl !!

Are you also running a database like MySQL or  Progress for some other application?

Progress generates a core dump (status of your db entries) envery time a user session crashes. Could be you're seeing something similar.

You can use them to diagnose the source of the crash, but that's an esoteric art... I personally just delete core files if any occur.
