It seems strange that I need to be root in order to say "place cores in my current directory" (via cat whatever /proc/sys/kernel/core_pattern). Isn't there any user-specific override for this?

On my node:
ll /proc/sys/kernel/core_pattern
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Mar 1 21:32 /proc/sys/kernel/core_pattern
It is only writable by root.
Also
chmod 666 /proc/sys/kernel/core_pattern
chmod: changing permissions of `/proc/sys/kernel/core_pattern': Operation not permitted
So I think you may not be able to override it.

Winston I was hoping there was a workaround not involving you having to write there directly. – einpoklum Mar 1 '16 at 10:41

Here (Fedora 23) it is hooked up to pipe the core file to report crashes automatically via abrt. Mangle at your own risk.
