Core Dump

(Wikipedia) A core dump is the recorded state of the working memory of a computer program at a specific time, generally when the program has terminated abnormally (crashed).[1] On many operating systems, a fatal error in a program automatically triggers a core dump, and by extension the phrase "to dump core" has come to mean, in many cases, any fatal error, regardless of whether a record of the program memory is created. The term is used in jargon to indicate any circumstance where large amounts of unedited data are deposited for further examination.
