I am trying to read a core file from http/php. I have set the ulimit to unlimited for the apache user in limits.conf, I have also added ulimit -c unlimited to the user's .bashrc.

For some reason, my core files still say they are truncated. I'm not sure why. I have debug symbols for httpd and freetds (but not php).

Here is the error:

BFD: Warning: /tmp/core.10242 is truncated: expected core file size >= 576610304, found: 11689984. BFD: Warning: /tmp/core.10242 is truncated: expected core file size >= 576610304, found: 11689984.[New Thread 10242][New Thread 10753]Core was generated by `/usr/sbin/httpd'. Program terminated with signal 11, Segmentation fault. #0 0x00002aaaac7f8b60 in ?? () "/tmp/core.10242" is a core file. Please specify an executable to debug.

any help is appreciated.
