What do you suggest otherwise?
If core-and-then-run should work then we must make working also
run-and-then-core (fine with that).
With both core file and running process the core file memory gets ignored.
So I find unloading a core file as just making the situation more simple.
(a) Do you find the "Unload it?" question too distrurbing?
(b) Do you find essential to see the core file memory again after the process
terminates?
Thanks,
Jan
