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.
