Hi,

My Debian system (now running Linux 2.6.26) is no longer dumping core
files, and I can't figure out why :-(

Of course, I've set ulimit -c to unlimited, and I'm running the
postmaster directly in the same shell (no pg_ctl or init scripts), but
it's still not working.  I'm not sure where else to look; Google
searches return tons of junk but nothing useful.

The kernel was compiled by me to add oprofile support, though I used
Debian's .config to generate the base config, and changed nothing else
(no time to fiddle).

If anybody has any idea of what's going on I'd appreciate it.
