/* coredump.c.  Public domain.

   This procedure is due to Chris Torek, [email protected].  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.  */
