Possibly because your Linux vendor thinks you're a wet-behind-the-ears

ulimit -c unlimited
before running your program.

If you run your program under gdb (i.e. execute
$ gdb python
and type "run") then any signal -- including sig 11 -- will dump you
into gdb.

so all their competitors think Lisp is slow and C++ is fast. (This
rumor has, however, gotten a little out of hand. :)
