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).
