Pesto seems to have had /bin/login dump core since it took the patch release
(we are running the release version for once).

I managed to glean no real information from it: 

pesto# gdb /bin/login core.root
GDB is free software and you are welcome to distribute copies of it

GDB 4.13 (mips-dec-ultrix4.2), Copyright 1994 Free Software Foundation, Inc...
(no debugging symbols found)...
Core was generated by `login'.
Program terminated with signal 3, Quit.

warning: Hit heuristic-fence-post without finding

warning: enclosing function for address 0x400198
This warning occurs if you are debugging a function without any symbols
(for example, in a stripped executable).  In that case, you may wish to
increase the size of the search with the `set heuristic-fence-post' command.

Otherwise, you told GDB there was a function where there isn't one, or
(more likely) you have encountered a bug in GDB.
#0  0x400198 in ?? ()


But you might be able to get more.  I am saiving it as
/usr/tmp/core.login.2.13.  Give a yell if you need anything else.
