Bug Description
webops has been dealing with retracers running out of disk space regularly, looking at the log files I noticed that the i386 retracers are retrying vim crashes from Ubuntu 16.10 multiple times. Looking at the code path for how these are requeued (because of gdb crashing when trying to retrace them) I noticed that the core file is left on disk. This is surely contributing to the lack of free space.
The retracing process should clean up after itself and remove any core files before moving on to the next item.
