but with a core dump you can just load it up and see the state of the process when it crashed...

I'm trying to remember the last time I actually had a core file. I think core dumps have been disabled by default on Linux since at least 2000.

They are stored in the system log and thus rotated automatically to save storage. At least in Arch.

I use Arch, BTW.
