These should crop up if GARP crashes when you are using it.  If it does
this, then you should note what you were trying to do when it crashed.
It could be running out of memory and then crashing.

You can do the same thing you did on wxbox (and do it on winfo2 also)
to limit the core file sizes.  If you get to a point where GARP crashes
on the same function every time, then we can take a closer look
at the core file.
