Just put 'ulimit -c unlimited' into the appropriate dot file to put
things back to how they used to be.
This changed a *really* long time ago. I don't know exactly when, or
how. It pissed me off too, but it's the norm now, because everything
has been dumbed down for the common user.
unicorn:~$ grep ulimit .profile
ulimit -c unlimited # Argh! Since when does this default to 0?
For me, .profile is the correct file, because I login on a console and
use startx. If you login via a GUI DM, some other file will be the
correct one (possibly .xsessionrc but I haven't tested it).
