Hello,
I've consistently been getting a segfault using gaim and I want to report the bug to their bug report site but i can't get a core dump file. I run the file from a command prompt as told to do and according to gaim's website i should see a .core file, but i dont. Can you tell me how to get a core file so i can submit the backtrace thanks for the help

If you're using bash, see the section of the bash man page on ulimit, specifically "ulimit -c".
