Are you sure mozilla is crashing and not shutting down due to some
detected error?  You'll only get a core dump if it crashes with a
SIGQUIT, SIGILL, SIGABRT, SIGFPE or SIGSEGV (well, there are others,
too).  Make sure you check /var/log/messages to see if there's any
report there.

I'm still active on the redhat-install-list.  I never was active on
the shrike list.
