The "r"-lines have lots of spaces for doing so called
"pid-locking" on transport.
The scheduler can dump core for a number of reasons, apparently
usage of TURNME ( a.k.a. ETRN ) is one of them. However this is
a normal message, and these should not cause core-drops.
A debugger back-trace from such drop would tell me a lot.
A way to run it to see why it crashes is:
# $MAILBIN/scheduler -i -v
The last things it does are rather revealing - usually.
(I notice there might be such a list at my mailbox further down..)
