Jaromir Capik c1f10d11bc Allow core file generation by ps command (rhbz#871825, rhbz#512857)
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.).

COMPATIBILITY

    This code is intended for use with Linux 2.6.xx, 3.x and
    hopefully all future kernels.

INSTALLATION

    If you are using git version of the project you need extra step.

    ./autogen.sh

    After that, and everyone using .tar.xz version of procps-ng, can
    do normal build.  Read './configure --help' to select options for
    your needs.

    ./configure
    make
    make install

    If you have DejaGNU installed you can run optional test suite.

    make check

HOW TO CONTRIBUTE

    See Documentation/BUGS file.

PACKAGING

    If you are a downstream maintainer (packager) for a Linux
    distribution, please avoid causing troubles.  This section
    applies to you.

    Avoid maintaining distribution specific patches.  Send your
    patches to upstream, where they are at least reviewed, if not
    included.

    Please forward bug reports. If your bug database is public and
    busy enough to bother with, please make this known.  Follow
    Debian's lead in making the bug database easy to comment on via
    email without need for an account.

    For normal packages, ensure that you do not add debugging flags
    to the CFLAGS variable.
