Thanks. I had tried this but still no core in the executing directory. Now
I'm not sure where they are going - certainly nowhere in $HOME.

Could be a couple of things:

1. The core dump limit for the process could be 0 (i.e. don't write core dumps).

2. The core dumps are written to the cwd of the process at the point
where it dies - not necessarily where you run it from. (If you know
the PID you could check /proc/<pid>/cwd.)

That is ABRT running/not-running should not have any effect on the normal
'ulimit -c' behavior.  It was filed for ABRT and fixed in 2009:
        https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=530637

If stopping/starting ABRT changes anything - that is ABRT behavior is not
fully transparent - it is a new ABRT bug.

Yup. Thanks guys. ulimit -c was 0

ulimit -c unlimited

Fixes my problem. Cores created in the cwd. I would have thought that this should be enabled by default in /etc/security/limits.conf in the absence of abrt.
