You should also run ser under the same user as the one that started it (don't use ser -u some_other_user). If you don't and ser suids to some other user, the linux kernel will prevent it from dumping core due to security reasons.
On Linux 2.6 kernels, this restriction can be disabled by setting the sysctl variable "fs.suid_dumpable" to 1.
