Empty core dump file

- Subject: Empty core dump file
Hi
I am new to examining core dump files using gdb. I am running Centos 5.5.
When my C++ program crashes with a segmentation fault I get an empty core dump file called core.13754.
I have previously executed:
ulimit -c unlimited
I built with -g.
Why might the core dump be empty?
Why does the filename include a number?
(/proc/sys/kernel/core_pattern contains just 'core').
Best regards
David
