IMHO the actual problem should be fixed instead of removing a parameter option. Besides, I don't like the introduction of an extra VDR command line option for this. I suggest we either wait until there is a real fix in the kernel or, if no such fix comes and the '2' parameter to prctl() is actually voided, we go back to '1' and let the user control whether there should be a core dump via 'ulimit'.
