Which doesnt work, since the max is set as root from the chain of processes
that
flow to give you your shell, you can't change it as a user. Ie, you use
"ulimit -c
unlimited", and then do another "ulimit -a" and see the coredump size set
to... "0".
Once the hard limit is set within a process, it can only be adjusted downwards,
unless you're root.
