You don't get a coredump because your environment has been set not to give
coredumps. See the man page for ulimit.
You can also call code inside of gdb:
gdb [programe]
run [options]
However, you probably don't want to do this with a stripped binary.

Yes, and we treat segfaults seriously. However, you have also not attached
your patch, so it's impossible for us to know exactly what you have
changed. You may not have changed *htsearch*, but the code also assumes
the databases will be in a proper form--there's some limited checking but
it is possible to corrupt them.
That said, it should be pretty hard to produce a segfault. If you can
provide a backtrace with gdb, it would be greatly appreciated.
