By default, many distros are configured so that programs running as normal users do not create core dumps. For example, on a default Debian 3.0 (woody) user account ulimit reports: craig at access$ ulimit -a | head -1 core file size (blocks, -c) 0 If your distro also prevents core dumps by default, I recommend you run Scribus from a terminal: $ ulimit -c 1000000000 $ scribus and see if you can get a useful core file that way. -- Craig Ringer
