Michiel,

I forgot to say that CoreDirectory was enabled in the config:

==================
CoreDirectory /tmp
==================

/tmp is world writable with sticky bit. It doesn't help. Core is not 
dumped under user "www". Maximum size of core files is set to "unlimited".

What I do:

# `ulimit -c unlimited; mathopd -f /etc/mathopd.cfg`
# `kill -SIGABRT <mathopd_pid>

There is no core dump in /tmp. The process was running under user "www".

# `ulimit -c unlimited; mathopd`
# `kill -SIGABRT <mathopd_pid>

Without config it dumps core in /tmp. The process was running under user 
"root".
