Just to close the loop here, it turns out that this was caused by some EDB-installed software, not macOS itself. The software in question wasn't expected to cause this to happen, but did anyway. We also discovered that core dumps weren't *completely* disabled. They still occurred for segmentation faults, but not for abort traps. So, if anyone's having a similar problem, check with your IT department or try with a fresh OS install before blaming Apple. :-) -- Robert Haas EDB: http://www.enterprisedb.com
