Great, thank you!
I set `ulimit -S -c unlimited` and pressed shutdown. I can see that a core file
is generated in /home/kodi but as soon as the kodi crashlog is written, the core
file is removed. Do I need to enable something so that the core file is not
deleted? I ran `find / -name core` but there seems to be no core file
anywhere...
It looks like that kodi is eating the file, see /usr/bin/kodi line 113.
Is there a method to keep the core file (or is the only way to comment out the
rm?)
