Allowing cores for packaged programs if ulimit permits is sufficient for our needs.

We actually adjust ulimit early in the process because we want customers to optionally submit cores for debugging. (Glad to hear VMware software doesn't dump core for you ;-) - I wish our betas were that robust!).

Sounds like a package-specific suppression override later in the process - like 87430. Fine that they don't want cores - but it becomes problematic if that blocks our cores.

Thanks for the Mono link - I'm learning interesting new ways to hook apport!

And many thanks for the quick communication!
