And on some platforms, cores don't drop in the current working directory
... but until we have a problem that *only* manifests on such a
platform, I wouldn't worry about that.  We do need to look for 'core*'
not just 'core', though.

Don't forget the ulimit point either ... on most Linuxen there won't be
any core at all without twiddling ulimit.
