Sorry, I guess I wasn't clear enough.
We need a stack trace.  Core files are usually only useful on
the system they were generated on.

To get a stack trace:

cd to directory where core file is.
get full path name to fvwm executable by typing

which fvwm

then run gdb supplying these 2 values:

gdb full-path-fvwm name-of-core-file

after gdb is done starting, type "where".

That should print a stack trace (about 10 lines).

Mail that.
