^^^ Try to issue the

$ ulimit -c unlimited

command in your shell before attempting the cloning -- this should
remove the upper limit on the core file size.  And try look for the core
file in the current directory after the crash occurs.  I'm not sure
Ubuntu's "crash interceptor" won't kick in, but just in case...
