Hi Kevin,
Below is a core from omniORB. Take a look. My GDB 5.1 will say:

As you can see if we put a conditional
if ( (elf_tdata (abfd)->core_lwpid) == 0)
inside bfd/elf.c/elfcore_make_ptid_str(abfd) for DG/UX OS at least
we are loosing a thread. Below is what I worked out for GDB 5.1.
It will patch elf.c and corelow.c. according to your suggestions.
If this is acceptable someone should check it in at least for
the upcoming GDB 5.x.x.
