I feel like this kind of culture may be dying in most places. But it used to be a common thing that you could pass a core file around to someone knowledgeable who knew what to do with it. In a workplace or university, maybe someone on staff who is technical. In a piece of software, either open source or commercial, maybe its developer. Obviously there is trust implicit in that, because core files contain your data. On Windows, their equivalent of core files gets sent to Microsoft and they run analysis on them to get most common stack traces for crashing bugs. If you're opted in.
