Not that I know of. Of course, you could easily write a wrapper for
dumper that uses the PID to get the image name of the faulting process,
and calls dumper with that filename. Or just patch dumper to do this.

You can just run dumper directly with the pid of the running process to
generate a core file without causing a fault. However this will cause
the process to terminate (something about a win32 limitation of not
being able to detach from a process without killing it.)
