4.2.2 Opening Core Dumps
------------------------

If a previous run of the program has crashed and you want to find out
why, you can have DDD examine its "core dump".(1)

   To open a core dump for the program, select `File => Open Core
Dump'.  Click on `Open' to open the core dump.

   Before `Open Core Dump', you should first use `File => Open Program'
to specify the program that generated the core dump and to load its
symbol table.

   ---------- Footnotes ----------

   (1) JDB, `pydb', Perl, and Bash do not support core dumps.
