testcase /house/chastain/gdb/s1/gdb/testsuite/gdb.base/bigcore.exp completed in 183 seconds
testcase src/gdb/testsuite/gdb.base/bigcore.exp completed in 4 seconds

Figures prove: Linux dumps core faster! :)
Part of the difference is that I'm using an NFS file system.
But a lot of it may be sparse file support in Linux.
I can't comment on the program itself right now, maybe later.

BTW, Michael, any thoughts on how to fail this on systems that can't efficiently dump a 3g core file? Skip the test I guess, but with which mechanism? untested?
