  ~/Library/LogsCrashLogs/   They're note coredumps, but rather Apple's 
debug logs.

  To have these generated, make sure it's turned on by the following 
line in /etc/hostconfig:

  CRASHREPORTER=-YES-

  The system should use /cores to store core dumps in, but by default 
they are turned off (set to 0 as the maximum size via ulimit -c). If 
you put the following line in /etc/hostconfig, they will be activated 
again:

  COREDUMPS=-YES-

  The above is referenced by /etc/rc.common to set `ulimit -c unlimited` 
on bootup. Of course, you could just do that manually when you wanted 
to enable them and `ulimit -c 0` when you wanted to disable them.
