+Yup, I put LimitCORE=infinity in mine:
+
+[colin at jimmy conf]$ cat /etc/systemd/system/httpd.service
+.include /usr/lib/systemd/system/httpd.service
+[Service]
+LimitCORE=infinity
+
+
+But the *real* change here from before is in Apache config. With newer
+Apache's (starting 2.4??) you have to put:
+
+CoreDumpDirectory /tmp
+
+in your httpd.conf somewhere. Without this, it won't write the core file.

+
+PS I realised that with my customised httpd.service file (not the one
+above which avoids this problem, but a literal copy!), I wasn't actually
+using the new settings, so my previous test related to this thread was
+bunk... will see if this also fixes it for me!!
