Comment on What is a core dump and how do you parse one?

Comments

Sun's "desktop productivity" tools for OpenWindows supported core dumps really well. The file manager skeuomorphically showed a core dump as a red bomb. You could effortlessly double click on the bomb, and it would predictably attempt to load it into the XView text editor, which would then intuitively explode, replacing the core dump with an even bigger, more sophisticated core dump.
