RE: No core dump

["HOLTZ, CORBIN L. (JSC-ER) (LM)" <corbin dot l dot holtz1 at jsc dot nasa dot gov>]

I get core dumps all the time under RH9.0.  Most likely you are running the
program from a directory in which you don't have write permissions, OR the
program is changing the current working directory internally (chdir) to a
directory which is write protected.

  It's not the compiler's job to produce a core dump. Redhat disables core 
dump from one of its startup scripts. Just tipe "ulimit -c unlimited" before

running the faulty program.
