As kskkumar explained, core dumps are files usually named only "core". With gdb you first load the file, then you load the core dump; or from the command line: gdb yourprogram core .
Remember to do a "man gdb" or go the the gnu.org website for documentation.
Also, the "ulimit" command allows to specify the core dump size limit, if my memory doesn't fail me it's "ulimit -c unlimited" for example. Again, check its manual.
