I'm not certain if this is the place to post this, but I don't think
it qualifies as a bug.

Here are 2 patches /etc/rc and /etc/defaults/rc.conf to implement a
request for a microscopic change wrt the calling of savecore:

--- rc.orig	Sun Mar 11 21:50:03 2001
+++ rc	Sun Mar 11 21:50:43 2001

 		echo -n 'Checking for core dump: '
-		savecore /var/crash
+		savecore ${savecore_flags} /var/crash
 	fi
 	;;
 esac

And the corresponding change in /etc/defaults/rc.conf:

Over the years all of my /etc hacks have been moved into well
considered config files.  This change will mean that I will not have
to edit any of the non-config type files.

thanks,

davep
