Hi all, I noticed today I had several large core dumps

directories I found them in contained no executables and as far as I
know were not working directories for executables (just PHP scripts used
by the web server), so I can't imagine how they got there.

This exceeded my hard quota without my knowledge. Any idea what's up
with this? Can I prevent it from reoccurring? Thanks.

The php fastcgi script crashed and left a useless core.
This has happened for a long time, see
https://jira.toolserver.org/browse/TS-1505 but it had (apparently) been
fixed, so perhaps it got reintroduced when the web servers were
reconfigured?
