Thanks.  I'd never used the 'xset fp=' command before.

Unfortunately, now that I've tried running things, the best I can do is
confirm that it core dumps for me, too.  It probably wouldn't be
terrifically hard to track down with a debugging version of xfs, running
under gdb but that would require building xfs, which I'm not set up to
do.

Maybe someone who has the sources on their machine could give this
a try...
