Your ulimit may be set to disable core dumps.

run "ulimit -a" or "ulimit -c" to see your maximum core file size:

$ ulimit -c 0   # disables core dumps
$ ./testme      # or whatever your sample program is.
testme: testme.c:6: main: Assertion `1 == 0' failed.
Aborted
$ ulimit -c unlimited
$ ./testme
testme: testme.c:6: main: Assertion `1 == 0' failed.
Aborted (core dumped)
