The quick and dirty workaround for this would be to move /usr/sbin/periodic to /usr/sbin/periodic.bin. Replace /usr/sbin/periodic with #!/bin/sh limits -c 0 /usr/sbin/periodic.bin $* Both the bug in the fts library and the dumping to core dumps through symbolic links which together conspire to have this bug are being fixed and there should be real commits soon.
