Please forgive the delay in my responding to you.  Mail is very heavy.
I was hoping someone else would handle this.

It is not feasible to debug a core dump from another user's machine--the
only way to investigate is if you run a debugger.  Can you possibly
investigate the immediate causes of the crash?  What data was invalid?

The file etc/DEBUG gives some advice on debugging Emacs, but you might
want to look at the GDB manual too.
