Just put 'ulimit -c unlimited' into the appropriate dot file to put
things back to how they used to be.

This changed a *really* long time ago.  I don't know exactly when, or
how.  It pissed me off too, but it's the norm now, because everything
has been dumbed down for the common user.

unicorn:~$ grep ulimit .profile 
ulimit -c unlimited		# Argh!  Since when does this default to 0?


For me, .profile is the correct file, because I login on a console and
use startx.  If you login via a GUI DM, some other file will be the
correct one (possibly .xsessionrc but I haven't tested it).
