  34 <PRE>     SIGFPE only happens on divide by zero, and in the few places where
  35 Services divides by a variable the variable is already tested for being
  36 nonzero.  SIGQUIT is user-generated.  SIGABRT isn't generated at all.
  37 SIGILL only occurs if your compiler is broken or you run a binary compiled
  38 for the wrong CPU.

  45 </I>&gt;<i>Why does DUMPCORE only turn off the SIGSEGV handler? there are other
  46 </I>&gt;<i>signals that cause core dumps
  47 </I>&gt;<i>(like SIGFPE, SIGQUIT, SIGABRT, SIGILL etc) that we definitely would want
  48 </I>&gt;<i>to dump core if we want
  49 </I>&gt;<i>SIGSEGV to do so.
