I don't have any core files.
I have now stopped cyrus-imapd and did

[root at imap01 root]# ulimit -a
core file size        (blocks, -c) unlimited
data seg size         (kbytes, -d) unlimited
file size             (blocks, -f) unlimited
max locked memory     (kbytes, -l) unlimited
max memory size       (kbytes, -m) unlimited
open files                    (-n) 1024
pipe size          (512 bytes, -p) 8
stack size            (kbytes, -s) 8192
cpu time             (seconds, -t) unlimited
max user processes            (-u) 7168
virtual memory        (kbytes, -v) unlimited
[root at imap01 root]# /usr/lib/cyrus-imapd/cyrus-master -d

but now core files anywhere.

How again do I get them?
