Does anybody else experience core files when using the following command?

    % xterm -e pine &

After I quit pine, I find that pine left a core file.  I'm using 3.87 but 
have noticed it before with previous versions too.

I had this problem. I solved it with this script:

	#!/bin/sh

	pine $*
	sleep 1

I called it 'mypine' and then I use:

	xterm -e mypine &

Amos,

This is very similar to a problem reported using the Sun cmdtool.  We 
have made some changes for Pine 3.88 that will hopefully help the 
situation, but we still need to do some more testing on it.

Thanks for the report!

I fairly regularly notice cores from Pine, but never notice it crashing.  They
don't occur every time I quit Pine, but I am running in an xterm in much the
same way as you.
