How can I get a memory map out of a core file?

Well, it corresponds exactly to what "info target" would have shown on
the live process.  Of course, "info target" and "info proc mappings"
show somewhat different information; "info target" displays *sections*
retrieved from loaded symbol files, while "info proc mappings" display
memory maps as reported by the kernel -- these correspond to the 
*segments* (not sections) of ELF files, and in addition show other
maps (e.g. stack, heap, mmap, ...).

What I'm wondering is basically whether for your purposes, you really
need the segment/mapping information, or whether section data as shown
by "info target" is sufficient.

Ulrich
