Thank you, Subhro, for such a quick response to my question.
For examining any core file you need a debugger. A very popular
debugger is the GNU Debugger also known as gdb

Do you mean that you have your system set to load X immediately upon

No, I boot into terminal mode and then log in and then issue startx.

If so, put the following in /etc/rc.conf:
