Strange "core.####" files in newbb directory

I've noticed that since updating to NewBB 2 that I have a plethora (that's right: plethora) of files named "core.####" (with the #### replaced by a numeric value). Most of these files are very small, but some are several megs. What are these files, and would it do any harm to delete them?

Anyone know what these files are? They are taking up considerable space on my server.

Those are likely core dump files on *nix machines. Usually means that something crashed (Apache?) and left the core file for analysis. Nice how the machine didn't die though eh?

Suggest looking at the Apache and system logs to see what is happening.

So no worries in nuking them, then. Superb.

Muchas gracias!
