(Get the code!)
I got burned by this, too.
It is compounded by the fact that "Segmentation fault (core dumped)" is written to stderr, which actually just means that the dump has been collected and passed on to apport.
Since it is apport that is parsing the ulimit value and deciding whether or not to write out the core file, luca's suggestion seems appropriate and would have been helpful to me.
