EVALUATION Looks like a dup/not a bug based on bugID:4343963 Based on eval from bug mentioned above this is normal behavior. ###@###.### 2002-03-13 ###@###.### 2002-03-13 The core files occur only in the debug vm, and are desired as a debugging aid. The product vm does not generate a core file. Closing as a dup of 4418494. Note that the vm reported in the description *is* a debug vm, even though the command used to run it is java (not java_g). The vm is a so-called "fastdebug" vm which has debugging info but is also optimized to run tests faster. The version string in the vm gives a (non-obvious) indication that it is a debug vm: build 20020308105420.jmasa.baseline-fastdebug-debug,
