Subject: Make it possible to get core dumps on Linux too
X-Git-Url: https://err.no/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=d0a2cadc940d23855caf21d2e699533b6b33d0cf;p=varnish

Make it possible to get core dumps on Linux too

When starting as root and then setuid-ing, we need to set the dumpable
bit to get core dumps on Linux.  Do so.
