	Looks like corelimit is a solarisizm :-). Your shell may have a 
limit on core size (usually 0) so when a program cores the core isn't saved. 
I don't remember what FreeBSD does (it may be non zero by default in which
case you will be fine) but on SUSE Linux you need to add 

ulimit -c unlimited

to your bash profile because it defaults to 0 and you won't get a core. 
Mac OS10.4 does create cores by default and FreeBSD may too.
