-       Linux kernel patch:
-       To get useful core dumps under Linux it is necessary to get the
-       kernel to write the offending thread written to disk.  There is
-       a patch, contrib/linux/coredump-patch, which achieves this.
+       Linux systems do not provide useful core dumps for multithreaded 
+       programs unless the kernel patch in contrib/linux/coredump-patch
+       has been applied.  We recommend all Linux users to install this
+       patch so that any server crashes can be properly diagnosed.
