As what unix user are you starting AOLserver?  And are you actually
running as that user, or are you using AOLserver's -u or -g switches
to change the user or group?

On Solaris, when I ran AOLserver from /etc/inittab with the -u and -g
switches to change the unix user and group, it would NOT leave a core
file, because, according to 'man core':

  A process with an effective user ID different from the real user
  ID will not produce a core image. This is also true for a process
  with an effective group ID different from the real group ID.

(I don't think running from /etc/inittab or not changes the core file
behavior in any way.)
