A crash dump is a snapshot of the physical memory, saved on disk, at the time that a fatal system error occurs.
Core files are created when a program or an application terminates abnormally and are by default eritten to the current working directory.
Whatever the cause, the crash dump itself provides invaluable information to a support engineer to aid in diagnosing the problem.
