core dump disable

["G. Kapetanios" <gk205@cus.cam.ac.uk>]

Hi,

I have a commercial package for statistics installed on my debian system.
This is primarily for interactive use but because my programs take a long
time I run it using the nohup command in the background. The problem is
that after the program finishes its calculations and before it exits it
dumps core. This is highly likely caused by a bug in the comercial
package. The results are not affected. However, the core dumps are large
since the workfile of the program is dumped ( around 60 Mb ).
Getting the commercial company to do something about this didn't achieve
much. So I would like to know if there is away to disable core dumps for
this specific program or if this is not possible disable core dumps
completely. I don't get any core dumps apart from those anyway. 
I would appreciate any help on this very much.
                                         Thanks 
                                        George
