Did you look everywhere beneath the data directory, or just in the
data directory itself?  Released versions of PostgreSQL typically
dump core in $PGDATA/base/XXX, where XXX is the database OID.  But
on some systems you can configure where core dumps go and what name
they have, so you might have to check your local settings.

If you're sure you didn't get a core dump then you might have a
resource limit like "coredumpsize" that prevents them from happening.
If so, then it might be useful to adjust that limit so you can get
core dumps.
