Setting the corefile size to zero is the correct thing to do.  I know
that a bug which led to zero size core files was fixed in the last few
months, but can't remember in which branches, nor exactly when.

I'd advise trying to upgrade to a recent 3.4-STABLE (if you're not
interested in 4.0-RELEASE, of course).  If it's not fixed in a recent
3.4-STABLE, file a PR using send-pr(1) and bug me about it. :-)

Ciao,
Sheldon.
