The debug levels (like '-v 16') did not show which map it was chewing on?  


Your shell might be limiting the core dump.  
csh/tcsh uses `limit` : 
 csh% limit core                    to check it
 coredumpsize    unlimited
 csh% limit core unlimited          to set it to allow cores

sh/ksh/bash use `ulimit`:
bash% ulimit -c                     to check it
unlimited
bash% ulimit -c unlimited           to set it to allow cores


`limit` with no args and `ulimit -a` show all the limits. 

When it says "Segmentation fault" it should say "core dumped" as
well.  If it does, you have to find out where it put it... :) 

Hope that helps.
Chris.
