You're welcome, and I hope it helps.

Upon rereading my reply I think I should clarify that /program is the one you compiled with the debuging symbols enabled. Or you can just type 
   % gdb
and specify the core and symbol files as follows in gdb itself:
  (gdb) symbol-file  /path/to/sylpheed.debug
  (gdb) core-file /path/to/core


There's usually a steep learning curve associated with gdb. Some searches on google can help you find usefull information on how to use it. The following URL for instance:
