Bruce,
Core dumps are even more of a pain on NT since they
don't generate a helpful trace file as on other
platforms. You should have a core.log file in one of
the dump directories (core_dump_dest didn't work on
NT, although I've heard it does on 8.1.7+, but haven't
tested it).
There should be a stack trace in it somewhere, but
that's about it. If you're lucky, it will be unique
enough to help support identify an existing bug.
Yes, I have had cases where enabling tracing prevented
the error from occurring, thereby making it incredibly
difficult to resolve.
HTH,
