Yeh, we're trying to get some more information but haven't been able to persuade
the solaris kernel to let 'nobody' dump core.  We're not using mod_ssl so it's
not an issue with that module for us!  Unfortunately we only see it on our "live"
system, where it appears every minute or so (= about every 500 hits).

More details coming when we know more!
