That says that a core file *may* be available. The address in the message is
of no use for debugging. You now get the opportunity to examine the file (if
one was created.) This is a really helpful Wiki:

     http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/Debugging#Using_core_files

If you find out where the error is happening, then you can use the search
feature in Trac to see if it has already been reported.
