From a7a0d86f5aa40a2215e36fe21d7911cf718ba428 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Petr Vandrovec Date: Fri, 13 Oct 2006 18:42:07 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] [PATCH] Fix core files so they make sense to gdb... It is silly to use non-static variable for writting zeroes to the file. And more seriously, foffset in core dump file dump function was incremented too much, so some parts of core dump were shifted by size of few phdrs and notes down, so although gdb was able to load that file, it did not make lot of sense - in my test case data pages were shifted down by about 900 bytes.
