Sure: ns-slapd[13737]: segfault at 00000000000000bc rip 0000003abb420375
rsp 00000000580d85d0 error 4

Yes, it is the same as working directory:
# ls -l /proc/`pidof ns-slapd`/cwd
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 Sep 7 17:12 /proc/18721/cwd ->
/var/log/dirsrv/slapd-ds1

No, it isn't. It seems random, but I can simulate a crash with kill -QUIT.
I tried killing a simple `sleep 10`:
# ulimit -c unlimited
# sleep 10&
[1] 19726
# kill -QUIT 19726
[1]+ Quit (core dumped) sleep 10
# ls -l core.*
-rw------- 1 root root 290816 Aug 31 08:52 core.1008
But if I kill -QUIT ns-slapd no file is created.
ns-slapd typically runs as setuid
to a non-root user. Check what
fs.suid_dumpable or kernel.suid_dumpable are set to.
