Just checked that here and it seems to work properly, ie no core when
ulimit -c set to 0.

Two quick questions:
#1 Is ulimit being for each user when they login? (perhaps in
/etc/profile?) This is just a sanity check t verify that each user's
environment is getting that ulimit setting as well.

#2  What version of FC are you using?
