Sorry if this is already known.
When "gdc dump" is called, it will send a signal (or whatever) to gated,
and gated will dump some data to /tmp/gated_dump. Here is the workaround :

Another possible problem in task.c :
/* Make dumps happen in a known place */
(void) task_chdir(_PATH_DUMPDIR);
...
by default, _PATH_DUMPDIR is /tmp.
Dangerous?
