    Problem Text
    This test may fail on implementations that do not support
    any signal generating a core file.

    We feel that the method used by fsetrlimit7.c to create a core dump is
    non-portable and not specified anywhere in the spec.

    The basic methodology is to use the kill() syscall with an
    implementation-defined signal that will create a core dump. We get to
    specify the signal used and the name of the core file. That's fine
    but on our implementation, the only way to get a core dump is through
    an actual abend or program check.

    The requirement that some special signal be implemented to create a
    core dump, and that that signal, when passed to the kill() syscall
    must create a dump of the process, is not specified anywhere in
    SPEC/1170. There is no portable way to test this assertion.
