  34 <PRE>     Conceivable, but highly unlikely; and if you want to make that
  35 argument, then the same can be said for running with DUMPCORE enabled or
  36 disabled even if you don't recompile.  Most such bugs are usually due to
  37 memory corruption (double free(), stomping on the malloc() arena, etc.),
  38 and even the slightest breeze will change their behavior.
  39
  40 &gt;<i>Also, (sorry for bugging you), why not make DUMPCORE a runtime option? it's
  41 </I>&gt;<i>conceivable
  42 </I>&gt;<i>that the simple act of recompiling the program might make a bug go dormant
  43 </I>&gt;<i>or change.
