Not very informative, unfortunately.  What happens when you "use 
Bio::Root" or "use Bio::Root::IO" instead of Bio::SeqIO? Do you also 
get coredumps with these?

I'm sorry to be debugging remotely (no AIX access anymore), perhaps we 
should take this off the list; we'll post back when (if?) we get to the 
bottom of this.
