   Mark, I haven't had a chance to test your patch yet. I will do that
   tomorrow. But in the recent past, core file handling was completely
   broken on both hppa2.0w-hp-hpux11.11 and hppa64-hp-hpux11.11 (it always
   segfaults when reading a core file for me), so i suspect whatever you
   have will be better (at least a step in the right direction)

Ah, so there is no real point in waiting to check it in then; I can't
really break anything ;-).

   thanks for fixing this! it's very frustrating to have gdb coredump over
   your core files....

It's in now.  Test it whenever you feel like it.

Thanks,

Mark
