So far as I know the only way a process will ever get "signal 9" (SIGKILL) is if someone running with the same privileges as the process, or as the superuser, manually sends it. Also so far as I know you'll never get a core dump from a SIGKILL, at least not on SunOS. Either your debugger is lying, or something's really broken worse than it appears (could ncsd have sent itself SIGKILL?). -- Greg A.
