How hard would it be to stop guessing based on isdigit(arg[0]) and
parse the whole string? Anyway, there is only a problem here if there
are *both* an entirely-numeric core file, and an existing process with
the same id. If not both of these hold, there is no ambiguity about
what the user means, right?
