it's created in the current working directory of the process.

Squid specifically changes to the cache directory, in order to store
it in a place where it might be able to write.

(There was a feature 'coredump_dir' added to 2.2, which seems to have
disappeared from later versions - then again, it doesn't actually look
like it worked anyway as the code immediately changed to the first
"swap" aka cache directory.)

But efforts to core dump can be affected by having changed user. (I
think I saw some Solaris patches relating to this very issue. The
original poster should scan through the Solaris 7 Recommended patches
at Sunsolve for more info - Recommended patches are freely available.)
