core from a running process



Does anyone know of a way to get a core from a running process without
crashing the process?  I have a process
that occasionally stops responding but doesn't actually crash.  Worse this
only happens at one client site and
I can't reproduce it in the office, so I can't attach dbg to it.  To
complicate matters the application spawns several
other processes so I don't know which one is causing the problem :(     So
does anyone know a very simple way I
can get core file, and it has to be _very_ simple because I have to talk
the client through it over the phone.
