Help:  how come that we can not get rid of a file?
	--------
	% pwd
	/usr/tmp
	% ls
	core
	% rm core
	rm: core non-existent
	% ls -l
	./core: File too large
	total 0
	% cd ..
	% ls -l junk
	junk/core: File too large
	total 0
	% /bin/rm -rf junk
	rmdir: junk: Directory not empty
------------------------------

What is wrong?  we simply cannot remove the core file!!
