"RLIMIT_CORE against limit 0" is just grsec telling you that nginx tried 
to dump core bigger than size 0 bytes.  You can use ulimit to get that 
core if you like.  But even if the kernel were killing it, this is a 
problem in nginx.  Most problem where the hardened kernel prevents stuff 
from happening is an issue with the app itself.  Convincing upstream to 
fix their clever feature is the hard part. eg. JIT code in python and 
libffi and cffi, etc.
