You should always compile with `-g' so that your core dumps (once you
figure out how to make them) have line numbers.  Core dumps without
line numbers are nearly useless.

Where you need to set the ulimit depends on how you start XEmacs.  I
always start them out of the olvwm root menu and I run xdm, so I need
to have my `ulimit -c unlimited' in /etc/X11/xdm/Xsession.

`-g -O4' works for me.
