Thanks Shawn,

I did: # find / -name "core*" | less

But there are so many.

I have no idea what caused the hard lock up. Because I had to pull the 
power and remove the battery and reboot, so I really have no idea what 
process went belly up.

Never mind, I assume on a kernel upgrade of the future it will be 
rectified anyway.

But thanks again,
Charlie
