Dumping core: root vs. normal user

["Eloy A. Paris" <eparis@ven.ra.rockwell.com>]

Hi,

an easy one: why when root runs a program that faults core is not
dumped but when a normal user runs the same program a core is dumped?

Test program:

void main(void)
{
	* (char *) 0 = 0;
}

gcc -o test test.c

Run test as both root and a normal user and you'll see what I'm
saying.

Thanks,

E.-
