If your problem is with just a single application, probably the writers did it on purpose. Core dumps can be a big security problem so it is not uncommon for applications to skip creating them if they crash. You'll have to check the application's documentation to see if there is a way to enable the core dumps or to get some form of contact to check out your problem.
