Not to mention that savvy users will refuse to consider doing any such thing. A full core dump would in many cases contain private information, and you can't easily tell what you'd be exposing by providing the dump. With a stack trace you can at least look at the text to see what it is you're showing to the world. Between that issue and the rather monstrous attachment load that dumps would put on bugzilla, I think we can safely dismiss the idea. regards, tom lane -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
