That is pretty strange.  I'm not sure off hand what would be causing
this.  I suggest you build distccd with debug symbols then run it
under gdb with --no-fork, or try to find the core files.

It should be dumping them in its cwd, but that may not be writable by
the process.  Ubuntu puts in some special core-catching behaviour that
redirects them.  I'm not sure if there is anything like that in Red
Hat (as I presume you're using), but that would be something else to
watch out for.
