FYI this has been solved by ABRT - Automated Bug-Reporting Tool https://fedorahosted.org/abrt/ (it is distro-neutral despite its homepage) Core file is there a subdirectory where the core file is just one of the many associated files: /var/spool/abrt/ccpp-*: abrt_version analyzer architecture cmdline component coredump count dso_list environ executable hostname kernel maps os_release package pid pwd reason time uid username uuid var_log_messages More info files are being continually added, such as /proc/PID/fd{,info}/ mapping at the crash dump time etc. You would need to add many more core file notes to make the core files useful for later analysis.
