I found this while trying to find out why squid doesn't produce a core file:
http://lists.samba.org/archive/samba-technical/2002-August/023576.html Most UNIX variants disable core dumps in programs that have changed their uid or euid during operation. This includes Solaris and Linux. Well, squid does exactly that. How can I still get a coredump? I really need one.
