Description Gene Snider 2010-06-08 20:05:44 UTC
Description of problem: In order for abrt to process crashes, ulimit -c must be set to a non-zero value in ~/.bash_profile.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
abrt1.1.4-1.fc14

How reproducible:
Easily.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. With default ulimit, ulimit -c 0, start gnome-shell. (guaranteed gnome-panel crash)
2. Crash is in /var/log/messages, but abrt didn't run
3.
  
Actual results:
No abrt when ulimit -c 0

Expected results:
In F12 and F13, I believe abrt worked with ulimit -c 0.

Additional info:
With ulimit -c 0, this is in /var/log/messages:

segfault at 3ef064c500 ip 0000003ef064c500 sp 00007fff9d079318 error 4 in libgnome-desktop-.so.17.1.1[3ef1a00000+28000]
Jun  8 12:23:12 localhost kernel: Process 10318(gnome-panel) has RLIMIT_CORE set to 0

With ulimit -c set to unlimited, this is in /var/log/messages:
