Joshua Oreman suggested I try "bt" while in gdb looking at the
core files.  The output from that command was:

for vim.core:

#0  0x2815a26b in memset () from /usr/libexec/ld-elf.so.1
Cannot access memory at address 0xbfbfe6e0.

for xinit.core:
#0  0x2805826b in memset () from /usr/libexec/ld-elf.so.1
Cannot access memory at address 0xbfbfe6bc.

There is no /etc/malloc.conf file.  Should there be?

[Sorry about not including the post--I had to get this off the
archives, since I tried Earthlink's Spaminator, and it deleted
everything from freebsd.org....  Oops.]

having a lengthy argument about what I considered an
