ok, i'm using linux 2.4.6 and trying to generate a core dump (for
a change). i do this by doing:

    uml-1# ulimit -c unlimited
    uml-1# tail -f /etc/group &
    blah
    [1] pid
    uml-1# kill -SEGV %1
    [1] + segmentation fault tail -f /etc/group
    uml-1# ls core
    ls: core: No such file or directory

no core file. on a 2.2.19 system i see:

    roo# tail -f /etc/group &
    blah
    [1] pid
    roo# kill -SEGV %1
    [1] + segmentation fault (core dumped) tail -f /etc/group
    roo# ls core
    core

ok, what's the story? why am i not getting a core file? any theories?
