  This is a shell-related option, and thus depends on the shell you are
using. Since I assume you are using bash, try "man ulimit". More precisely
it seems to be its "-c" option. With zsh the command is
"limit coredumpsize <value>".

You guessed right - thx. "man ulimit" didn't help, but "man bash" and "/ulimit"
took me to the right place...
