That's a new one - is that in the sample.log or output from Install?
I honestly have no idea where that might be coming from - there's no

Is your pmpost setuid root by any chance?  (shouldn't be).

Once in a blue moon I am also seeing a pmcd core, but have no test
case reproducer atm ... still hunting that down.  If its reproducible
