      When we crash, we display info such as:

      "Core dump will be written. Default location: Core dumps may be processed with "/usr/share/apport/apport %p %s %c %d %P %E", or dumping to /home/gerard/Desktop/core.13857

      According to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Apport the "apport" program is disabled by default. There is a way to check if it's enabled/disabled, that we could use to know exactly if apport is used and therefore the format of the "core" file name.

      http://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man5/core.5.html explains the mechanism that is used to determine the exact pattern used for the core file name.

      Not sure yet if apport applies to other distributions, such as Oracle Linux, or just Ubuntu.
