Oh, how *EVIL*! :-(

It seems that a (soft) core file limit of 0 must be hard-coded into
login, bash, xdm and/or one or more PAM modules (pam_limits.so sounds
likely... I'm going to install the libpam-doc package ASAP so I can
read up on it).  I can't find a config file anywhere that sets it to 0.
(In fact, I tried setting it in /etc/security/limits.conf but it had
no effect!)

Fortunately, it's only the soft limit that's 0; the hard limit is
unlimited.  So I put "ulimit -c unlimited" in my ~/.profile....
