AOLserver on Linux will not write a core file if it is
started as root, as it calls setuid() to drop
privileges which clears the "dumpable" flag on the
process, preventing the core file from being written.
As of Linux 2.4, the prctl() interface allows a process
to restore the dumpable flag using PR_SET_DUMPABLE
which must be called after the setuid() has taken place.
