Thank you. I was wondering if core dumps had been disabled because it's 
something I would do. The other suggestions were important to check, but 
this is the one that gets me under way.

It seems that my sudo is passing a null path to ts_secure_opendir() 
which ends up getting passed to strrchr() causing the core dump. I'll 
pull the thread on this and see where it leads (I'm sure that's a mixed 
metaphor).
