I downgraded to .23.1 before I received this message.  If I have time
this weekend or next week (may not have time until thanksgiving
weekend), I will try to upgrade to .24 again.  I will look into
getting the debug packages and figure out how to do a backtrace.  I
recognize that the only true "cost" that the developers ask from users
is to provide meaningful bug reports so hopefully I can do that.  Or
maybe the problem will be fixed by the time I upgrade again.

It is weird that myth exited by saying core dump, but I could not find
the dump anywhere.
