Description:On an RS6000 32bit PPC box I was never able to make Asterisk-1.2.x dump core. Used ulimit -c unlimited and started asterisk with asterisk -c -vvvv -dddd -g -U asterisk -G asterisk. On the openpbx-dev mailinglist a small patch was posted by Armin that would fix this. Perhaps this is needed for Asterisk too?
