/* coredump.c. Public domain.
This procedure is due to Chris Torek, chris@umd.edu. It makes a core
dump without any sort of error status (abort(2) does return an error
status, so we don't want to use that). It is used only when making a
preloaded TeX from virtex, and is triggered by a magic file name
requested as input (see `open_input', above). Finding a way to
reconstitute the core dump into a binary (i.e., with undump) is up to
you. Perl has some things to say about these days. */
