** Description changed:

  Kees has looked into setting /proc/sys/fs/setuid_dumpable to 2, which
  will enable core dumps for setuid binaries. This is now safe in all
  cases for kernels in raring and later. For quantal and earlier, a core
  pipe handler must be set when /proc/sys/fs/setuid_dumpable is set to 2.
+ 
+ TEST CASE:
+ 
+ passwd
+ # In another shell
+ killall -SEGV passwd
+ ls -la /var/crash/_usr_bin_passwd.0.crash
