If you do try to share core file please do not send it to the mailing
list.  Any core file would be too huge to push to everyone and only a
few would find it useful.  Raw core dumps tend to be problematic
unless matched with their exact matching source.  Let's not push large
binary files to everyone.

Instead post it to a paste bin site such as wikisend or other and then
just send the link to the mailing list.  No login needed.
