The jython source code appears to come with a directory
called "core".  Most commercial backup servers (TSM,
Legato Networker, Veritas NetBackup, etc.) mindlessly
avoid backing up anything called "core" in order to
avoid backing up core dumps - doesn't matter if it is a
file, a directory, etc., if it's named "core", your
backup server skips it and moves on.  Most backup
servers don't bother wasting any time (they are trying
to fit into a narrow backup window) looking to see if
it is a file, a directory, etc. or even inspecting the
file to see if it is a core dump.  You might want to
rename this directory to be "Core" or "CORE" or "main"
or anything that isn't "core" in future releases.

This isn't likely to change anytime soon for backwards
compatibility reasons.
