That is strange, are any of these programs running setuid? This would
make the issue even worse.

You can do some things to easier find the core file by setting

	sysctl kern.defcorename=/tmp/%n.core

and you can allow setuid core dumps by 

	sysctl kern.coredump.setid.dump=1

The setid dumps will go to /var/crash/ unless you override that by

	sysctl kern.coredump.setid.path=/tmp/%n.core

as well (which is something you want to think twice if you are on a
multi user machine).

For all of this you better have unstripped binaries and even preferably
compiled with -g for all relevant pkgs. If there are only few calls in
the library suspected it is easy to review them.

	man ctype

explains the issue and how code needs to look like to be correct.
Pkgsrc upstreams usually accept such fixes quickly when they get
reports with patches.
