Re: Dumping core: root vs. normal user

That's often true if the program is *setuid* (or setgid) [to anything,
not just root] - most, perhaps all unices will fail to dump core in
that case. Just running as root does not cause this behaviour; limit
and the permissions on the working directory (is it over NFS, where
root can't write?) or any existing file [or directory] named core are
the first things to look for...
