            Bug ID: 18819
           Summary: gdb core    could this work?
           Product: gdb
           Version: unknown
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: gdb
          Assignee: unassigned at sourceware dot org
          Reporter: jg at jguk dot org

GDB appears to not recognise my coredump.

is it really necessary to pass --core=core  ?

Perhaps if core format could be detected.. it could be determined and used.
