Works for me on Sonoma 14.4.1 and Ventura 13.6.6, and has done
in many versions before those.

The usual gotchas apply: you need to have started the postmaster
under "ulimit -c unlimited", and the /cores directory has to be
writable by whatever user the postmaster is running as. I have
occasionally seen system updates reduce the privileges on /cores,
although not recently.
