[Bug corefiles/9904] coredumps by gcore are corrupt

[ich at az2000 dot de]

------- Additional Comments From ich at az2000 dot de  2009-02-25 22:04 -------
Coredumps generated by the kernel are valid, GDB can read them just fine.

I can also attach the core together with debugging symbols if that helps.

[Bug corefiles/9904] coredumps by gcore are corrupt

[cyreve at users dot sourceforge dot net]

I had these symptoms - the core files were far too small to be valid (they 
contained metadata but no memory dump). A little debugging led me to http://
www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-kernel-70/proc-pid-maps-files-empty-for-
all-processes-787559/. Upgrading to Debian kernel 2.6.26-21lenny4 fixed it.

Reproducer isn't provided here but guessing it could be a forward-"duplicate" of:
Fix gcore writer for -Wl,-z,relro (PR corefiles/11804)
