coredumps disallowed when creds are changed?

Greetings hackers.

core(5) states:

> By default, a process that changes user or group credentials whether real or effective will not create a corefile.  This behaviour can be changed to generate a core dump by setting the sysctl(8) variable kern.sugid_coredump to 1.

Can someone explain why?

Thanks,

Ravi (rpokala@)
