13 Yes, TaskBar still segfaults.

15 Now I feel like some dinosaurish fool here. I cannot get a core
16 dump. ulimit -c 90000 or -c 1 or -c unlimited tells me
17
18 -bash: ulimit: core file size: cannot modify limit: Operation not permitted
19
20 Setting ulimit in /etc/profile doesn't give me a core dump, in $HOME
21 or /tmp or anywhere that I can find. Bash's help ulimit says nothing
22 about this. I can't find anything in /etc/sysctl.conf which disables
23 core files. Changing /etc/security/limits.conf didn't help.
24
25 I have written threaded apps, database apps, mail handlers, all sorts
26 of stuff, and it's been so long since I used a core dump that I feel
27 positively ancient. Good grief.
