This shows that you are now allowed to set "ulimit -c unlimited",
but you have not actually done so, at least not in the session that
you're using to inspect these settings.

If you are starting the server "by hand" (from a manual shell
command), it should work to do "ulimit -c unlimited" before issuing
the command to start the server.  If you are using infrastructure such
as systemd or initscripts, then you'll need to figure out how to get
it to set the ulimit in the environment of the server process.

BTW, have you tried disabling JIT to see if that stops the crashes?
