+this reminds me... you should try to fix the dumping of core via systemd.
+
+the other day i tried to get cores, but somehow unlimited meant 0 meant no
+core at all
+
+#systemd people told me that my distro's systemd isn't built with the
+coredump option, which may refuse to dump cores in services.
