I'm actually on Solaris 9. The only items I could find re: core files on
Solaris were with regards to Solaris 8, but they seem to be relevant to
Solaris 9. I asked my sysadmin and he had no real answer. He indicated
that the manpages we have are out-of-date, which is no help.
Some further testing indicated that it may dependent on the shell, in
that zsh allowed me to set the value. Also, Solaris (9, at least) allows
you to set your ulimit -c down, but only superuser can set the ulimit -c
up. So, if you have "ulimit -c 0" in your .profile, you're SOL. But, if
you don't, you may be fine.
If you need any further information, please let me know.
Thanks,
Rob Kinyon

Is that something common to Solaris 8, or is it specific to the bash
installation that you have? i.e. could it be that other bash versions do
accept it? If it's the same I suppose we need to skip that state for
Solaris
8. Please show the code to indentify Solaris 8 ($^O + %Config) and I
will add it.
