Bash does default to no coredump.. The easiest way to fix this is to put
'ulimit -c unlimited' in your .profile, .bash_profile,or whatever file.
Also 1.2.13 and earlier kernels, does not know how to dump elf
coredumps. So if you have an elf system, you'll need a 1.3.xx kernel.

Last thing I heard there are no code for it, but I seen someone on
linux-kernel that wanted some code for it. But I doubt it'll ever be in
the official kernel release. But I'm sure there is a patch around somewhere.
