You probably have core dumps shut off (limited to size 0) in the shell.

In bash the command is:

ulimit -c unlimited

In tcsh it's:

limit core unlimited

In other shells it's probably similar. If not read the documentation for
the shell because I don't know and this isn't the proper forum to ask. :)

Hope that helps.
