I was really hoping someone would answer this, as I'm interested in the
proper way to do it too.  My guess is that the easiest way would be to
stick 'ulimit -c 0' in the apache init script, but then you don't have root,
and that is a complete hack.

You could try putting this code inside your web scripts themselves,
in some initialization routine.  See the getrlimit() and setrlimit()
man pages.

I hope someone reports the real answer. :-)
