Summary0000570: fatal() fails to dump a core if the master is not loaded
Descriptionfatal() calls shutdown() in the master and in that process assert_master_ob_loaded() is called. If there is no master object yet, exit(1) is called. In that way, a core dump is not available and to debug it, you have to reproduce with breakpoints at the right places in the debugger. I think, it would make more sense to call fatal() (again). fatal() will anyway detect that it was called recursively and directly dump a core by calling dump_core() without doing anything else which is the desired behaviour I guess.

Or do you see a special reason why the driver should exit normally in this case? After all some part of the driver called fatal()... (In my case it was called from slaballoc.c because of a double free.)

r2448 replaces the call to exit() by a call to fatal().
