Hello

what causes a core dump..............well hundrends of things.the general rule is when an application tries to do something that the os dosent like for example trying to acesses data from a loaction thru a null pointer stepping into another memory space etc....

you will have to debug the core file and look for more info....
usually this is difficult ....you can use gdb on linux for example i am not aware about other unix flavours....

but you can get teh help of oracle support if you can send them the core....they will help you to interpret it properly.


look here for more info
