Description of problem: If a program that does not came from a package crashes, no coredump is produced with abrt enabled. And there is no information about the crash in the abrt log either. So, all information about the crash is lost. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): abrt-0.0.11-2.fc12.x86_64 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. ulimit -c unlimited # not that it has any effect 2. gcc -xc -o unknown - <<<'main(){*(int*)0=1;}' 3. ./unknown Actual results: Segmentation fault (core dumped) But despite of the message there is no core dumped. And there is no information about the crash in the abrt GUI. Expected results: Segmentation fault (core dumped) And a core dump is produced. Since abrt cannot do anything with the crash of an unknown program it should let the program dump core instead of eating it.
