   cure for the core dump created in all the wp directories in my website. Like 
   _core.xxxx_ files of usually 40+ mb are created and it floods the sever and the
   disk space quickly becomes full.

 * Your thinking could be incorrect. Read the article again. Then read these:
 * [“core dump files”](http://www.google.com/#hl=en&q=%22core+dump+files%22+wordpress&aq=f&oq=what+causes+%22core+dump%22+wordpress&aqi=&aq=&oq=&aqi=&aq=f&oq=&aqi=&fp=e5JW0G7adoo)
   wordpress
 * Perhaps an application on your server is responsible for the dump files.

 * The sysadmin of your web host can prevent creation of such core files since they
   do not serve any purpose to you. Open a support ticket for that and try your 
   luck!

 * I believe that I have found the problem at least on my server. It was PHP 5.2.10
   there seems to be a bug in it that causes core dumps and other errors. I have
   recompiled to 5.2.9 and everything seems to be working just fine.

 * Hello everybody,
    after a long investigation on all plugins, we have found a 
   solution about core dump files created by PHP. The solution is very simple, but
   you must read the full post here: [core dump files on wordpress](http://www.mediaverso.com/a-solution-for-core-dump-files-on-wordpress.html)
 * Hope this can help the community.

 * I read it twice, and I still didn’t really come away with the feeling of having
   a “fix” for core dump files. It appears to me, just a reiteration of general 
   information (that is already available to anyone with a web browser – from multiple
   sources), and statements of opinion, rather than results.
 *  In fact, I see a large portions of content in your article that appears to be
   pretty much “boiler plate” information, if you will.
 * It would be nice to see some actual test data, some names of plugins you found
   to be problematic, and perhaps an elaboration on the process of core dump file
   analysis.
 * _“These files can be of different sizes and usually do not contain useful information
   to Carry out a debug to identify the problem and eliminate it.”_
 * It would have been interesting of you had taken the time to qualify that statement.
 * I think this informaiton could be way too general an assertion to be of any practical
   use to anyone;
 * _“A final recommendation to the plugins programmers.
    Before asking for donations
   with PayPal for your product, make sure it was well written and is really good.
   Of rubbish we do not need. We love WordPress because is fast and very well coded,
   so, why you code a rogue plugin and ask money”
 * Hmmm. Those are some thought provoking statements, but unfortunately, they aren’t
   of much use, in my opinion.
 * _“…long investigation on all plugins, we have found a solution about core dump
   files created by PHP…”_
 * I would have felt much better about reading the article if it contained some 
   actual data from your analysis to support any of your recommendations, opinons,
   or conclusions , but I didn’t see any of that – beyond the OOB suggestions for
   trouble shooting, of course. But still, an interesting read, for many reasons.
