Disabling core dumps

I've got a large C program that has some bugs. It often
ends up dumping core, which can take upwards of a minute
or so. I don't want that core: the problem's causes lie
in a data structure that's wrong...I just need to insert
some new diagnostics and get everything right.
The core dump is annoying because I just have to sit and
wait ... and I don't want the stuff! My first command
afterwards is "rm core".
We're running 4.1BSD - is there some way (a command to
the shell, a compile-time flag, anything!) to disable
this automatic dumping of core and just have my terminal
come back?
