Since find changes working directory as it goes, this core file will
be dropped in the directory that find was searching when the problem
occurred.  Knowing if there's anything special about that directory
might also be useful.  Of course, this also means that you will need
to search for the core file.  If the directory isn't writable, you
might even not get a core dump.
