(1) The fact that it's unlimited in your user environment doesn't prove
that it's unlimited in the environment the postmaster is started in.
(2) I forget which constraint ulimit-with-no-argument prints, but it's
not core file size. (Try "ulimit -a")
Please actually follow the advice given to you above.
