I would be surprized, if you got a coredump with signal 10. Are you sure
that signal 10 is SIGBUS? Coredumps are normally created only upon
sigsev (=11).

Try kill -l and find out the real meaning of the signal. Here (under
linux) 10 = SIGUSR, whereas SIGBUS = 7.

... although that doesn't reveal anything more useful. SIGUSR is
probably even worse than SIGBUS ...
