 Martin Husemann gave the crucial advise to compile the binary with
 the "-gstabs" option and I can debug it now:
 
 tron@ivanova:/usr/src/usr.sbin/rtadvd>gdb rtadvd rtadvd.core
 [...]
 #0  0x00015290 in get_next_msg (buf=0xefffe276 "", lim=0xefffe30a "",
     ifindex=0, lenp=0xefffeaf8, filter=45062) at if.c:247
 247                             get_rtaddrs(rtm->rtm_addrs, sa, rti_info);
 
 It looks like an alignment problem. "rtm" is a pointer to "struct rt_msghdr".
 "struct rt_msghdr" contains 32bit values but is not aligned on a 32bit
 boundary.
 
 	Kind regards
