Bill's instructions were generic, since he has no way of knowing details of
what happened on your machine. His instructions regarding tleap are correct
-- it is a script and you have to look at the executable it's actually
calling (for me, its:
#!/bin/sh

if [ "$AMBERHOME" ]; then

   $AMBERHOME/bin/teLeap \
              -I$AMBERHOME/dat/leap/prep \
              -I$AMBERHOME/dat/leap/lib \
              -I$AMBERHOME/dat/leap/parm \
              -I$AMBERHOME/dat/leap/cmd \
               $*

else

   echo "Error: you must set the AMBERHOME environment variable!"
   exit 1

fi

) so teLeap is the actual executable file. Also the core file is not simply
named core. Whenever the core is dumped following a segfault, it names it
"core.something", where the something varies from instance to instance. You
need to use this core-dump file, not "core".

You need to type "gdb $AMBERHOME/bin/teLeap core.########" where the
.####### corresponds to your particular core file name (we have no way of
knowing what that is). Do not type core.######## literally.

Good luck!
