It isn't a bad habit. That's merely Dennis's opinion. FWIW, top works just fine for me (and has since it was integrated). I use it all the time (it's what I'm used to, coming from other OS's that don't have prstat). All that said, I can't really add anything useful on why it's core'ing for you. You could truss it's execution and see if anything strange happens before it cores. Alternatively, inspect the core file for clues and troll the bug database for any likely candidates. Is this on OpenSolaris? If so, pkg verify SUNWtop would be good to run to make sure the package is installed properly.
