One hack I've done when I don't care about actually getting or
using a corefile from large programs is to do the following:
# rm progname.core
# touch progname.core
# chflags uchg progname.core
Of course, I'd only recommend doing so if one is absolutely
certain they don't want a corefile from said program ever again,
and will remember to unset that flag should they ever change their
mind.
