As long as you have "ulimit -c" set high enough, it should dump the core
on Linux (it certainly works fine with Apache 2.0). Depending upon
your shell, you can specify "ulimit -c 100m" which will allow 100MB
core files to be created. Most likely, it'll dump the cores in your
apache-1.3 directory.
You know that seems to be an obvious omission from the debugging
page. Hmph.
