The script utility dumps core when one attempts to log to a file in a non-existent directory.

~$ mkdir script-demo
~$ cd script-demo
~/script-demo$ script nosuchdir/file.txt
Script started, file is nosuchdir/file.txt
script: cannot open nosuchdir/file.txt: No such file or directory
                                                                 Script done, file is nosuchdir/file.txt
Segmentation fault (core dumped)

~$ which script

One expects instead that the program exit with an error message:

~$ mkdir script-demo
~$ cd script-demo
~/script-demo$ script nosuchdir/file.txt
Script started, file is nosuchdir/file.txt
script: cannot open nosuchdir/file.txt: No such file or directory
