There's no core file. The FAQ says to have a word with my system
administrator (that'd be me) about not supressing core files. It
wasn't a conscious decision on my part; how do I fix this?
Check your /etc/profile for a line like:
ulimit -Sc 0
This disables the dumping of core files. Change it to:
ulimit -Sc unlimited
If you don't want unlimited-size core files, substitute the number of 1kB
blocks that the size of a core file can reach for "unlimited". If you don't
want to make this change permanent you can just type it at the command prompt
of the shell you're using to start the executable that should be dumping core.
Typing "ulimit -a" will display a list of the current limits.
