when i grep for my ip address the core file gets a match.

i was just wondering why it would be hardcoded.

I assume you mean an actual core.blah file, this is created when a program ends unexpectedly, eg, crashes and is used for debugging, so the IP address would be stored there as part of that info.

As would anything else Anope currently holds in memory. It's basically a dump of the currently used memory, including function calls and such to allow debugging the reason why it crashed.
