always from /home/user i tried to type root and tried again
this time the process seems to go beyond the usual seg fault and i got some new messages in xterm (like flag:1 etc) but it was very slow and appears to be in a loop or to take several time, so i just stopped with ctrl+z but still no core file in /home/user

should i try again with root privileges? and wait for this long process to got this core file? it will drain my battery? just to know, so i will put on charge
you should not run waze as root. It does not cause issues, symply not advised.
btw, ctrl+z does not close the application, it only kinda freezes it to the background. so you should kill waze properly you should run 'ps -eaf | grep waze | grep -v grep' to find the running waze application and then 'kill -9 ...' Where you replace the 3 dots with the number from the first column of the ps run. (or simply restart the phone instead )
the core file is a file that its name starts with core. I will check why it was not generated, it should have. Maybe there is another settings that is needed besides running the ulimit command
