Chris already posted that in this thread. The file does appear to be sparse. However, the strace output also looks very unusual ... r...@localhost:/mnt/sys/external> strace -v ls -l log_1848_1239927341.core svr4_syscall() = 0 syscall_6061(0x7fb817ec, 0x39950000, 0x3995bf08, 0x3995c58c, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0 , 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0) = 0 syscall_6009(0, 0x1000, 0x3, 0x802, 0, 0x20, 0, 0x39960000, 0, 0x39960000, 0, 0x39964010, 0, 0x39936db0, 0, 0, 0x39948628, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0x20000000, 0, 0x3995c288, 0, 0, 0, 0 , 0, 0x3995ca68) = 0x2aaa8000 svr4_fork() = -1 ERRNO_6002 (Unknown error 6002) svr4_fork() = -1 ERRNO_6002 (Unknown error 6002) [...] svr4_syscall() = -1 ERRNO_6001 (Unknown error 6001) -rwxrwxrwx 1 root root 109775240942714880 Apr 30 08:12 _1848_123 9927341.core svr4_evtrapret() = -1 ERRNO_6003 (Unknown error 6003) svr4_syscall() = 6011 svr4_syscall() = -1 ERRNO_6003 (Unknown error 6003) svr4_syscall() = -1 ERRNO_6205 (Unknown error 6205) Process 2697 detached ... which leads me to on the one hand wonder if the platform is MIPS, but on the other hand wonder if something else is going on, since the strace output seems to contain so many unknown errno values and the strace output doesn't seem to end with an exit syscall.
