>/var/opt/dce/dced/core
>/var/spool/cron/atjobs/core
>How do I examine them?

I don't know about the first but you can use:
file /var/spool/cron/atjobs/core

It should give you the basename of the executable. Also what is the time of both of these? Do they match your cron/log entry?

After you figure out the name of the executable you can use gdb:
$ gdb path-to/executable core
(gdb) bt
(gdb) q

You can download wdb from here:
