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.
