That value doesn't do much - it only indicates where Apache may dump the
core files. But, on Solaris, that value is ignored.
On Solaris, you need to use coreadm (man coreadm). You may also have
to use ulimit -c to allow your processes to dump core. But, the
overall system limits are set via coreadm.
If you are using Apache 2.0.16, you should definitely try the latest
version in CVS. We've been fixing lots of segfaults seen on Solaris
in the threading code lately (even after the recent 2.0.21 alpha).
Chances are that the cause of your core dumps have already been
addressed. -- justin
