DJGPP doesn't support generation of core files. Adding code which
will dump a memory image to a disk file is easy, but core files aren't
useful unless they can be fed to a debugger, and as I understand, this
latter part is not easy at all. I haven't actually tried doing it,
but Charles Sandmann said here once that interpreting the core image
from a running DJGPP program is hard. I understand that this is due
to the way memory is allocated by the DPMI host (it's non-contigous
and the way it is divided into chunks might be different for every
invocation).
