Title: fails to identify what program left a core file Status in file package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: Steps to reproduce: - 'ulimit -c unlimited' so you get core files - get a program to crash - run 'file core' to see what program it was that crashed Expected results: - file tells me the name of the program Actual results: - "core: ELF 64-bit LSB core file x86-64, version 1 (SYSV), too many program headers (463)" This matters when you find a 'core' file after time has passed and you don't remember when or what crashed.
