how to enable core files ?

[Kerl, John]

You might also check the setrlimit(2) manpage, which includes
the relevant C library routine.

I'm not erally familiar with SELF, but we had this same problem.  We running
under bash and found that we could create core files with the following
command:
ulimit -c <size> OR 'unlimited'
Its a built in bash command, so the implementation may vary if you are
running a
different shell.  For what its worth though, hope that helps!
