ok... first add -g to the MYFLAGS list.
then, add the line limit coredumpsize unlimited to your .login or just type it
at the prompt.
the, when the game crashes, and says: 'Segmentation fault: Core Dumped'
go to the circle directory and type: gdb (or dbx) bin/circle lib/core
once in the debugger, type where to see where the program crashed, and then
type quit to get out.
