Dear all, I encountered a core dump like this,
Or it seems, *no* core dump!

Segmentation fault When I select 1, there is still no saved core dump. I guess because it is not enabled. May I ask how to enable this option? Thanks.
What are your OS and shell (R has not disabled it, but your OS probably has)? The usual way to disable this is to set the limit on the coredumpsize to 0, and this seems a common default these days. In csh, use e.g. limit coredumpsize 2000, in bash use e.g. ulimit -c 2000: on my system the limits are in kbytes.
