I would suggest that the dump file NOT be called `dump', maybe
`.dump' would be a better choice.
-r-xr-xr-x 2 root root 0 Apr 10 20:59 .dump
dr-xr-xr-x 2 root root 0 Apr 10 20:59 all
dr-xr-xr-x 2 root root 0 Apr 10 20:59 default
dr-xr-xr-x 2 root root 0 Apr 10 20:59 dump
dr-xr-xr-x 2 root root 0 Apr 10 20:59 eth0
dr-xr-xr-x 2 root root 0 Apr 10 20:59 lo
cat .dump
