For some time now I see messages like this in the logs on our webserver:

pid 36861 (ftpd), uid 29987: exited on signal 11

This is with the stock ftpd on 4.5-RELEASE-p3 (users use it to upload their
web pages to it). I compiled ftpd with -g and tried to set it up so that I get
a coredump. I configured:

	mkdir /var/coredumps
	chmod 1777 /var/coredumps
	sysctl kern.corefile=/var/coredumps/%U.%N.%P.core

Now I can create a simple program that crashes and the core will be written to
/var/coredumps. But ftpd simply does not want to create a coredump. As far as
I can see, /etc/login.conf specifies coredumpsize=unlimited. Is there anything
else I need to configure or tune to be able to catch a coredump?

I'd really like to catch this one before 4.6-RELEASE ;-)
