Hi, Although I edited /etc/profile to set ulimit -c 100000 globally - verfied the parameter is set from a bash prompt, but then again, /etc/profile might only target the shell (ie bash) - a core file was not dumped on the fourth crash of gnome-terminal this week I just experienced (really need to setup email under Linux ;). How do I enable core dumps under X so I can debug these crashes (or at least upload a core file to bugzilla)? TIA, Leonard. -- mount -t life -o ro /dev/dna /genetic/research
