Named calls set{re}uid(2), when running with `named -u`, which DISABLES core
dumps of the process unless the kernel has been told otherwise.  This has
to be done by the ADMINISTRATOR as it is a SYSTEM WIDE configuration knob.
There is no per process knob.

See the afore mentioned KB articles for how to do this.
