/var/log/messages contains the following:

Feb 16 22:06:12  /kernel: pid 632 (rt2), uid 1001: exited on signal 12
(core dumped)

	What's a signal 12?  Is there a list, somewhere, on what the
different signal errors are?  They come up every once in a while and are,
of course, entirely cryptic without the secret decoder ring :)

	Ah, great.  I'm running linux_base ver. 5.2 .  
	I hope that this additional info helps illuminate my problem.
Though I suppose I'm not terribly optimistic.  .  .  Is there any other
way I can find out more about what its doing?
