By "examples" I meant complete and reproducible recipes to get a
coredump, e.g. a source code which will crash gcc, a command which will
crash gdb, a URL which which will crash netscape (BTW, I wasn't aware
that netscape is "Unix crap", I thought it runs on the Mac as well), etc.

I used most of these tools (except dbx and trn) as well and they _never_ 
crashed on me, with the exception of beta versions of netscape.
