With bash I've done:

% ulimit -c unlimited

With tcsh I've done:

% limit coredumpsize unlimited

I'm compiling with "gcc -g ..."

Yet when a program segfaults or otherwise blows, I don't get core
dumps.  :-(

I would really like to use gdb on them to sort out why they are
segfaulting, but it's not easy without a core file.

What's the secret?  How do I make a program dump core when it
segfaults?

Thanks.

(Please Cc me an email any followups.  Thanks).

Cheers
Tony
