: Would you be happy with something less BSD but more logical?
: I think <pid>.core or <name>-<pid>.core would be better.

: (At least core.<name>.<pid> will not generate core.tar, but
: I still prefer the suffix method.)
BSD (at least FreeBSD 2.0R) dumps core as <name>.core This avoids the
conflicts with things like core.tar and such...
I rather like the idea of configing this.
