Signal 6 is SIGABRT.

Without seeing your code, it is difficult to tell what actually is causing the core dump.

Have you allocated space for the receive buffer? Is the receive buffer length argument correct? Are you capturing the senders address and, if so, is the address structure and length of address structure arguments correct?
