Multiple Core Files

    My hosting service has recent let me know that I’m about to exceed my disk space limit. The culprit is my installation of Word Press, which on April 15, 2009, began hosting multiple core files (i.e., core.3793, core.6646, core.8563, core.9828). The average file size is 50 MB.

    What gives?

    I received this message from Hostgator:

    Hello,

    The core files appear to be getting generated from the wp-spamfree plugin:

    Core was generated by `/usr/bin/php /home/phil/public_html/wp/index.php’.
    Program terminated with signal 11, Segmentation fault.
    [New process 13365]
    #0 0x082e7188 in php_error_cb (type=8, error_filename=0xb6f3dcc4 “/home/phil/public_html/wp/wp-content/plugins/wp-spamfree/wp-spamfree.php”,

    801 TSRMLS_FETCH();

    You would need to try disabling that plugin.

    Regards,

    Hostgator Support

    But I see there is a Spamfree update. I have updated, and will report back later if this problem persists.

    The problem continued, but there is another Spamfree update. I’ll try the update again.

    It has continued to produce core dumps to the WordPress directory. So, I have disabled Spamfree. If the problem continues, I will note it here.

    This problem continues. Here is a section of my error log:

    Maybe it will make sense to someone. My tech guys say that it is a WordPress plugin.

    Which one?
