    YUCK

    Well IRIX boxes tend to have a PROM in which there is a file system
    and a disk driver, thus when the system goes totally boink they can
    escape to those and still do the core dump. That is pretty hard on
    todays PC hardware.

    Other than that I still haven't found much more useful info in those
    monster dumps you get on commercial system than what the OOPS provides.
