Public bug reported:
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.
