<pre>For unknown reasons, the systemd-journal daemon crashed on my system. However,
I can't load the core file to see why.
$ dmesg | grep journal | grep core

itself, diverted to

$ coredumpctl list | grep journal
$ cd /var/lib/systemd/coredump
$ ls -l

Additionally, because of <a class="bz_bug_link

title="NEW - RFE: LZ4 compressed core dumps should be comaptible with lz4 command line tool"
href="show_bug.cgi?id=83266">bug 83266</a>, the core file can't be manually loaded
using lz4 command line tools.
