Chances are the program is attempting to open a file for read and/or
write. As root you can read/write any file on the system. As user, that's
not the case and that can prevent a program from accessing a file that it
needs. If the program were written correctly, it would give an error, not
core dump.
Check the permissions on all files and directories that the program uses
and make sure that the user as the appropriate ownerships and/or
permissions on the files.
