Enormously large core filed is generated for simple Go program.

[Karan Chaudhary]

Hi,

For a simple program:

package main

import (

        "fmt"

        "os"

        "time"

)

func main() {

        fmt.Println("hello!", os.Getpid())

        time.Sleep(10 * time.Second)

}

I generate the core file using "gcore <pid>".

Size of the core file is 1.1G.

Is that normal?  

Isn't it enormously large?

Thanks,

Karan

Kindly discard this.  I was looking at a different file.
