Heh, well, actually from "long ago" I said, "These are dumb!  I'll turn 
this on when I need it!" and put in "ulimit -c 0" in my .bash_profile. 
Of course, that was before I started religiously commenting (you should 
see my .bash* files, e.g.), so I forgot about it.

In the meantime, I think I've sussed out that warning message is unique 
to me.

Yeah, I picked that up after the responses, and reading a bit more about 
it.  I actually knew peripherally what it did, but I was not aware that 
I could set up allowances on a per-user basis.  Thus, I asked the (in 
retrospect) dumb question if others were running LO as root.

I don't think getting rid of that output is a good idea (in this case). 
 For something like '$ find /', it might be more appropriate, where 
it's clear there will be some permission denied listings, etc.

As I said above, I think it's only me, so problem solved.

Thanks though!
