Hello ptxdist developers,

My application is crashing and I cannot get the core dump. To narrow down the 
problem, I wrote a simple program:
int main(int argc, char* argv[])
{
  int *a = 0;
  *a = 0;
  return 0;
}

Then I make sure that the core dump is generated correctly:
# ulimit -c unlimited
# echo /tmp/%e.%p.core > /proc/sys/kernel/core_pattern 
# ulimit -c
unlimited
# cat /proc/sys/kernel/core_pattern 
/tmp/%e.%p.core

Run my test buggy software:
# ./test 
Segmentation fault

And no core dump is generated:
# ls /tmp/

I was expecting to have an indication about the core dump being generated on 
segmentation fault, as it happens on my host system, I have this error message: 
Segmentation fault (core dumped)

Core dump is activated in the kernel:
$ cat .config | grep COREDUMP
CONFIG_COREDUMP=y

I have no setui, setgid bit set for my application:
# ls -l 
-rwxr-xr-x    1 xuser    1000         10481 Mar 17 11:25 test

Moreover, I'm pretty sure there is enough space in temp to generate the core 
dump:
# df -h

What am I missing?

Kind regards,

Guy
