Generating coredump's from within a signal handler.

[mats.lindberg at se.transport.bombardier.com]

Hi all!
I'm writing a program that when receiving a SIGTERM
shall generate a coredump of itself and exit.
This coredump shall be analysed later on using gdb.
I've tried to raise(SIGABRT) when handling SIGTERM,
this generates a coredump, but the stack seems messed
up when examining it with gdb.
Sending SIGABRT directly instead of SIGTERM to
the process gives a readable coredump but this is not a
solution to my problem.

Mats
