I just updated this morning to 3.3-STABLE from 3.2-STABLE, and I have both my ulimit and /etc/login.conf set so that coredumpsize is zero. Until 3.3-RELEASE, this prevented any core file from being generated. In 3.3-RELEASE, I now get a zero-length file. I see from the CVS log that some cleanup was done to the core-dump code in kern/kern_sig.c on Sep 1, 1999. This code has a comment in it saying that this is now the expected behavior. So how do I get it to not dump any core file at all? I do not want core-dump files being scattered all over my disk-drive like so many kernel droppings, zero-length or not. (I find them next to useless. If it's a program I'm developing or debugging, I'm generally working on it anyway, and if it isn't, I throw it out or relaunch if it's netscape.)
