Um, I know the feeling?

Nope, that's not dead code.  ISTR documenting that so-called feature
somewhere. 

I want to remove the "if ... given as NULL" behavior.  We have lots of ways
to set dump file names, and I don't think having a default one is any help,
especially because it's a security hazard.  Anyone see any reason to keep it
the way it is?  

Thanks for your diligence (and patience), Jerry.
