I had once a similar problem after some hard disk corruption, that some apps
were just dumping core (Seg Fault)

How i resolved the problem:
1)ulimit -c unlimited
2)run the apps, seg fault => core file present in directory
3)gdb <nameofapp> core
4)found where the apps has seg fault'd 
i've seen then that all my apps where failing when using the same library
(libnss_dns)
so i just copied back that library from install disks, a little ldconfig and
then everything was running again !!!

Try doing so to find if there is a "common point of failure" for all your apps.
