After I posted that message, I realized that the core dumps were all
coming from the UUCP maps posted to comp.mail.maps.  I found tons of
.ina* and .ara* files sitting in the news directory, all of them UUCP
maps from rutgers.  Has anyone recently changed the way these maps are
posted?  Off-hand, I don't see any changes.
