Hmm, I'm a bit confused. Look at this code:

void
disable_core_dumps()
{
 #ifndef HAVE_DOSISH_SYSTEM
  #ifdef HAVE_SETRLIMIT
    struct rlimit limit;
    limit.rlim_cur = 0;
    limit.rlim_max = 0;
    if( !setrlimit( RLIMIT_CORE, &limit ) )
        return;
    if( errno != EINVAL )
        log_fatal(_("can't disable core dumps: %s\n"), strerror(errno) );
  #endif
    if( !opt.quiet )
        log_info(_("WARNING: program may create a core file!\n"));
 #endif
}

Do you mean as long setrlimit is not really implemented this
disable_core_dumps should run in the same way like on dosish systems?
That means never!
