Rationale for this, is that I lurked `ulimit -c unlimited` into my .profile to debug an unrelated crash, that I kept forgetting to set before hand. I then ran the test suite and discovered that I had 150 gigs of core dumps in `/cores`.
Very open to another approach, or to setting the limit to something higher than 0, but I think it would be nice if the build system tried to save you from yourself here.
