I don't know exactly if this is really OK, but it is probably OK,
because you can have "holes" in a file (open/create file, seek to X MB
and write something, close it), so file size can be large but actual
disk usage is small. Coredump is likely to have an hole in it.
This way you can have 378MB file on a 10MB partition and have 6MB free
of it for example ;-)
