the os-test badseg is supposed to crash, but creating many cores is not ideal behaviour...

"badseg" intentionally core-dumps. It does a setrlimit(), but we need to prevent global core dumps too. We do this by having "badseg" be a shell script which limits corefiles during the run of the actual test program, now renamed "badseg_exec".
