On AIX, isn't there a way to allow a process to write a core file? (Assuming it dies as the result of the default action of an appropiate signal)

It may be that the program drops core (or dies trying) once in a blue moon. You can't run truss hundreds or thousands of times.

DESCRIPTION
first closes all open files, streams, directory streams, and message catalogue descriptors, if possible, then causes the signal to be sent to the calling process. This may cause a core dump to be generated (see signal(2)). If the signal is caught, the handling function is executed. If the handling function returns, the action for is then reset to and the sig- nal is sent again to the process to ensure that it terminates. RETURN VALUE
does not return. ERRORS
No errors are defined. APPLICATION USAGE

If is neither caught nor ignored, and the current directory is writable, a core dump is produced and the message is written by the shell. SEE ALSO
