dump n. 1. An undigested and voluminous mass of information about a
   problem or the state of a system, especially one routed to the slowest
   available output device (compare {core dump}), and most especially one
   consisting of hex or octal {runes} describing the byte-by-byte state of
   memory, mass storage, or some file. In {elder days}, debugging was
   generally done by `groveling over' a dump (see {grovel}); increasing use
   of high-level languages and interactive debuggers has made such tedium
   uncommon, and the term `dump' now has a faintly archaic flavor. 2. A
   backup. This usage is typical only at large timesharing installations.
