If you are using bash, ulimit -c will show the current soft limit for core file size and ulimit -c -H will show the hard limit (the maximum you can raise the soft limit too). If the hard limit allows it, you can raise the soft limit using ulimit -c 200000 (as an example, the units are 512-byte disk blocks, so that would be 100MB) or even ulimit -c unlimited The setting only applies to the current shell, and once set, you can only decrease it.
