>From the Solaris core(4) man page:

     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. Set-user-ID and
     set-group-ID programs do not produce core images either when
     they terminate, since this would cause a security loophole.

So, the solution is to set 'User' and 'Group' in httpd.conf to 'root' and
'other' respectively.
