Since the ps command handles signals with it's own handler, it doesn't create core files when something wrong happens. The attached patch restores the ps command ability to create core files by calling the default handler once we print our custom message. The original RH's workaround masked SIGABRT and SIGSEGV signals and that would conflict with the original intention of the custom signal handler and also with the filtering patch I sent in my previous email. Moreover, this solution generates core for all relevant signals (SIGFPE, etc.).
