DEC-Unix TrueCluster on two concurrently running alphas plus half a dozen attached machines, gives a core dump 
about 60megs if you make it right. Can be attributed to an error in procmail ;-) and since I use a dual stage filter that 
gives me 2 times 64 megs, now I'm mean and have it ascii-armourd by pgp and split into handy 1 meg chunks, so 
that the recipients mailer won't bounce it. 

And it's all _not my fault_ !!

What you'd say about size....
