If you want to get rid of core files and use bash you can use ulimit:
[vps@unicorn]~$ ulimit -c
1000000
[vps@unicorn]~$ ulimit -c 0
[vps@unicorn]~$ cat >test.c
void main(){int *a=0; *a=0;}
[vps@unicorn]~$ gcc -o test test.c
[vps@unicorn]~$ ll core*
ls: core*: No such file or directory
[vps@unicorn]~$ ./test
Segmentation fault
[vps@unicorn]~$ ll core*
ls: core*: No such file or directory
[vps@unicorn]~$
Bye.
