Subject: and now, core dumps/bus errors/3.2 updated to 3.5-STABLE

I initially set up my machine (yeah, a pentium) with
3.2 release.  Then I ran a cvsup to 3.5-STABLE (this
is the most current version of 3, correct?).

The make world went perfectly.  I followed the
directions to the letter in the FreeBSD handbook. 
Only initial problem I had at first was the /var
partition filled up 'cause the output script got too
big.  Putting the script over to /usr/tmp solved that
problem.  Rebuilding the kernel went fine.  Using
mergemaster went fine.  Rebooting went fine. 
Everything went fine.
 
But now, whenever I try to use, say, BitchX or
netscape, I get segmentation faults/core dumps, or bus
errors.  These happen about 8 times out of ten when I
try to run these programs.  I tried downloading the
new ircii package, got an error message I was missing
some shared libraries. 
 
Again I did the make world process first with a 
 
# make -DNOPROFILE=true buildworld
 
# make -DNOPROFILE=true installworld
 

If I redid a make with a

# make buildworld
# make installworld
 
would this get rid of the core dumps and bus errors?
 
Or, if I just installed version 4.1, would that be a
better idea?  
 
again, absolutely no problems with the original
install of 3.2.  This has to be something to do with
the update.
 
please email me directly at mol666@yahoo.com
 
thanks much, in advance, for your help!
