For one,
make sure your ports are up-to-date with your installed ports tree
before installing more ports.

Yep, done that :)

You can run the program under truss(1),
which will help you figure out what kind of bad data is being passed
to system calls (assuming that's where the failure is, but it's not
unusual for that to be the case).

OK will check out truss ....

You can generate a crash dump of
the program, and (you or someone else) can use a debugger to see where
it was when it failed -- usually a strong hint.

Is that what a core dump is?

Thanks for replies :)
