>Description:

kernel logging of signaled processes ("pid 99, uid 0: exited on
signal 11 (core dumped)") _really_ should have an option to
disable. Really now. If you can comment the source to indicate
that some found it annoying (it certainly bugs the hell out of
me), you can put an #ifndef in to allow folks to have their
choice.
