If you are developing or maintaining code which frequently drops core, then

ln -s /dev/null core

in the directory where the aberrant application barfs will do the business.

Other apps run in other directories can drop core as normal (do a SIGQUIT,
on ^\ or [C-\\] depending on your notational preference to test this).
