GDB's thread code is implemented as (loosely speaking):

	thread model
	-> thread db library
	-> LWP / linux process / ... interface

VS handling a core file:

	thread model
	-> thread db library
	-> core file interface

provided the core file contains the same information as would have been 
returned by the LWP / linux process / ... interface, it should all be 
fine ......
