[Pkg-utopia-maintainers] Bug#964803: dbus-daemon: unaligned trap on alpha

[Rich]

I can't find a setting to do that in Linux sysctl or
kernel-parameters; or searching around, do you have a pointer?

I tried just telling /etc/systemd/system.conf
DefaultLimitCORE=infinity, setting a non-default path in
kernel.core_pattern in sysctl.conf, restarting, restarting dbus after
boot, and running find after systemctl status dbus reported dying with
SEGV, but I don't see any cores, in the path I set with core_pattern
or otherwise. :(
