CentOS includes Red Hat's automatic bug reporting tool (ABRT) which should catch programs and services crashing due to a segmentation violation.
This is very useful for instance for reporting bugs to Red Hat.
However, it needs a bit of configuration before it can be used.
Normally our systems have a limit on the core dump size.
Install the abrt-addon-ccpp package and run
/usr/sbin/abrt-install-ccpp-hook install
This will update /proc/sys/kernel/core_pattern to be
|/usr/libexec/abrt-hook-ccpp %s %c %p %u %g %t e
The core dumps will be written to /var/spool/abrt.
