Your shell options are probably preventing it. 

Open a terminal and issue the command 

ulimit -c unlimited

and then run ethereal from that terminal. That should
get you the core file.

(man bash and search on ulimit for more information.)


Guy and others - I have the impression that most Linux
distros are shipping these days with core files disallowed
by default. Would this be good to add to the README?
