Comment:

 It's bad form to enable core dumps within an application. It's easy enough
 to enable this with ulimit in the startup script, and there you can also
 set the core pattern so all cores go to a single location that isn't
 likely to fill up and have knock on effects like crashing your mysql
 tables.
 {{{
 ulimit -c unlimited
 echo 1 > /proc/sys/kernel/core_uses_pid
 echo "/cores/core.%t.%u.%p.%e" > /proc/sys/kernel/core_pattern
 }}}
