Is there any way to get the regression tests to write a core dump file
somewhere that I can get at it? I tried "ulimit -c unlimited" but
can't find any core file lying around after I reproduce the crash.

In case you're on OSX, the core dumps there are written to /cores,
not to the cwd of the process.

Are you using a temp install? If so, the core files are going to end up
there, and thus go away when that's deleted. You could change the
core_pattern if you're on Linux (see core(5)) but it's probably easier
to use "make installcheck" instead.
