What were you trying to do?

 finger cstng 
 (or finger any_user_logged_in_on_the_machine)

What's wrong:
 I get a segmentation fault at the end and it 
 generates a core dump.
 I have reported this problem serveral times before and I have 
 found out a few more things. 
 There isn't a core dump right after I log in to the work 
 station. After I've done a few things, it will occur.

 Below is a history of the commands that I typed. Before the 
 first command below, I have done the following :

 xmh &
 xrn &
 setenv  LPROPT "-h"
 unlimit

    27  8:10    ls -l core

What should have happened:
    No error when I finger myself.

Please describe any relevant documentation references:
