the corefile alone is not going to be of much help due to the random
libc relinking; can you show the backtrace? lldb in base should work,
otherwise use egdb from the gdb package.
$ ls -l
[assuming it crashes]
$ egdb ls ls.core
[useless copyright stuff elided]
(gdb) bt
and paste the output in a mail. re-compiling ls with debug symbols (cd
/usr/src/bin/ls && make DEBUG='-g' && doas make DEBUG='-g' install)
could be useful too.
For what is worth, I have a maildir with 14k files and haven't noticed
crashes, so the number of entries it's probably not the culprit.
Thanks,
