Many core dumps in pthread_getspecific - how to debug?

Hi,
I'm new to FreeBSD, and it looks nice so far. There is just one thing
which bugs me. I'm getting a lot of core dumps in many different
programmes like Xorg, vim, firefox, ... and looking into the backtrace
it's always inside pthread_getspecific () from /lib/libthr.so.3.
You can imagine that especially Xorg is very annoying. I'm using
awesome as a window manager and I'm always up to date with the latest
patches. Sometimes it's crashing multiple times a day, sometimes a few
days without a core dump. This week I'd just 1 core dump of vim, the
last week I'd 11 core dumps from Xorg and also some more from other
programmes.
I didn't found /lib/libthr.so.3 inside the ports, so I guess it's part
of the base system. The typical backtrace looks like this (not always
exactly the same, but always ends up at pthread_getspecific):

It's running on real hardware, it's not a VM.
And now the questions:
What do I have to do to debug this and get rid of this bug?
Whom do I need to send those debug infos?
Sincerely yours Andre.
