you're right, 'file /usr/X11R6/bin/wmaker' gives me:
/usr/X11R6/bin/wmaker: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, Intel 80386, version 1,
dynamically linked (uses shared libs), stripped

Here is the output:

=2E..
Core was generated by `wmaker'.
Program terminated with signal 6, Abort trap.
=2E..
(gdb) bt
#0  0x482d4f97 in kill ()
#1  0x482d4171 in abort ()
#2  0x48297d9e in __assert ()
#3  0x8094773 in dladdr ()

#5  0x807ed4e in dladdr ()
#6  0x806c830 in dladdr ()
#7  0x804d2d5 in XMapRaised ()

I can rebuild it from source if necessary. What flags are recommended?
