process taking long time to dump core

[madhusudan.hv]

hi,
Can you tell me when an application might take long time to dump core?
The linux o.s is indicating that a process is dumping core, and only
after 40 mins i am seeing the core file. What might be the problem?

regards,
Madhusudan

We have no idea. Try a Linux newsgroup, and be prepared to provide
more information about your application.

We must do something. This is something. Therefore, we must do this.

Maybe it is a big process or a slow disk. However, this is a Linux
problem, not a C problem, so ask in a Linux group.

Might be any kind of problem. Your question is better posted in a Linux
newsgroup. But also there you will not find much response, as your
question does not contain enough information.

Off-topic here.

Possible answers:

- The device we are dumping core to is slow
- The amount of stuff we have to dump to the core image is huge or
convoluted
- Some other reason
