xboard works fine on Linux for me, and I haven't heard any other
reports of problems like this, so I'm at a loss.  I have a Yggdrasil
Linux release from about 6 months ago, running on a 486.

Try running gdb on the core file and get a stack trace ("where"
command), then mail the results to me.  It would be preferable if you
could rebuild xboard with debugging information first, as follows:

	rm *.o
	(setenv CFLAGS -g ; configure)
	make

Also, let me know exactly what command-line options and/or .Xdefaults
you were using with xboard.  Thanks for the report.
