Yup, I put LimitCORE=infinity in mine:

[colin at jimmy conf]$ cat /etc/systemd/system/httpd.service
.include /usr/lib/systemd/system/httpd.service
[Service]
LimitCORE=infinity


But the *real* change here from before is in Apache config. With newer
Apache's (starting 2.4??) you have to put:

CoreDumpDirectory /tmp

in your httpd.conf somewhere. Without this, it won't write the core file.

PS I realised that with my customised httpd.service file (not the one
above which avoids this problem, but a literal copy!), I wasn't actually
using the new settings, so my previous test related to this thread was
bunk... will see if this also fixes it for me!!
