Mine never is, but I run using catalina.sh, which doesn't execute a 'cd'
anywhere. Maybe this happens when running as a Windows service or
something, but I don't see this behavior when running on *NIX.

I suppose that's possible. Carl, are the core files all from the same
run? If so, something is very very wrong. Otherwise, maybe the reason
why you couldn't find any traces of your crash was that your CWD was
changing from what you expected it to be to some random subdirectory.
