Hi. Core dumps are only enabled if you specify a directory in the

create files in this directory.
Michiel,
I forgot to say that CoreDirectory was enabled in the config:
It could be that the OS does not allow coredumps for processes that have done a
setuid.
For example, on FreeBSD you have to do
sysctl kern.sugid_coredump=1
Not sure how to do this on other OSes but it's probably something similar.
Also you won't get a core dump if a core file already exists but is not
writable. That may be obvious but I got bitten by this just now.
Cheers
Michiel
