I'm not erally familiar with SELF, but we had this same problem.  We running
under bash and found that we could create core files with the following command:
ulimit -c <size> OR 'unlimited'
Its a built in bash command, so the implementation may vary if you are running a
different shell.  For what its worth though, hope that helps!
