We have a researcher here who was running a large Smalltalk program
for several days, when the program core dumped. This program is one
*Large* memory resident image with no File I/O, processes, etc.

He wants to try to recover the data, as was wondering if the core file
could be patched enough to let him restart the program and get a
listing out. SunOS 4. Anyone have any tips. I have briefly looked an
unexec in GNU emacs sources, but haven't comprehended it yet.

Send me mail, and I will summarize. Thanks!
