> We add a small feature, which adds core dump info, which till now was only printed as part of hs_err log file, directly to stdout, when desired using log mechanism, i.e. `-Xlog:os=info`
> 
> For example, if we see:
> 
> `core dump info: core.28283`
> 
> we know all is set up correctly and we can expect a core file if java process crashes. If we see:
> 
> `core dump info: Core dumps have been disabled. To enable core dumping, try "ulimit -c unlimited" before starting Java again`
> 
> instead, however, we know that "ulimit -c unlimited" needs to be set.
> 
> Testing: 
> - passes `"MACH5 runtime/ErrorHandling/CreateCoredumpOnCrash.java"`
> - full MACH5 test in progress...
