Probably won't be useful if you didn't compile with debugging symbols. A
simple way to find out would be to do the follow:

gdb /path/to/tpop3d/binary /path/to/tpop3d/core

And when you get the (gdb) prompt, type: "bt"

If you do that and post the output to the list, we could probably tell you
if the core is useful, or if its just wasting space on your HDD. :)

Recompile might not be necessary, if its all working. Upgrade is never a
bad thing to do.
