Disabling core dump is a cinch on 4.1bsd.  Just say
limit coredumpsize 0
which limits the amount of file space a coredump can take to 0blocks.
(Of course, you can set this to other things as well.)
Issuing the command 'limit' by itself shows you what all the limits
are.  On my terminal just now, limit says:
% limit
cputime 	unlimited
filesize 	unlimited
datasize 	6112 kbytes
stacksize 	512 kbytes
coredumpsize 	unlimited
memoryuse 	unlimited
