Eh, thats also a new one. If you keep getting strange gnome-pilot *and*

says anything usefull (warning, great amounts of output ahead)

This is gpilotd-capplet not being able to initialize the gnomecc stuff.
Thats a whole different matter. 

The core dump file I want must be somewhere else. Can you reproduce it ?

Just remember an old picture of a Japanese guys P5000. He had installed 8

modified pilots are FrankenPilots in my book.
