Stop a Program Dumping Core:

• The easiest way to stop any program dumping core is to set your core-dump limit to zero (0) using:
  ulimit -c 0
• Caveats: A new limit only applies to processes started by the current shell. To change it for all processes, put the command in your  .profile  or  .bashrc  file.
