In modern Unix-like operating systems, the memory dump is saved as a file which is usually called core or core. <Process number>; its format is the same as the format of executable files of this OS (ELF in Linux and modern Unix, a.out in traditional Unix systems, Mach-O in Mac OS X). A debugger is used to analyze the core file (for example, gdb) or the objdump tool.

Judging by the name httpd.core , Apache allegedly fell.

From here questions:
1. What is Wednesday?
2. Were there any falls?
