I know nothing about CentOS - I had never even heard of it before your 
post. core file administration is not very standardized. As Kyle 
mentioned, you may not have gotten one because of limits.

It's also possible the name of the core has been renamed to something 
else, or relocated. On Solaris and recent versions of other Unix 
platforms, there is a command called "coreadm". See if it exists for 
your OS.

Since the assertion is on a system function, I would also recommend you 
obtain the latest OS patches, especially those relating to the pthread 
library. This might fix your problem.

Using the latest NSPR release version also probably would not hurt, 
because if there is a bug, we probably won't fix it in 4.6.x, but rather 
4.7.x / 4.8.x .
