          Since non-programming users can learn little from coredumps, your shell likely suppresses them by default by setting the ulimit value to zero:



          $ ulimit -c
          0


          You can set the value to any non-zero size, or simply remove the limit altogether using ulimit -c unlimited



          See help ulimit or refer to man bash for details.
