Public bug reported:

Steps to reproduce:

- 'ulimit -c unlimited' so you get core files
- get a program to crash
- run 'file core' to see what program it was that crashed

Expected results:

- file tells me the name of the program

Actual results:

- "core: ELF 64-bit LSB core file x86-64, version 1 (SYSV), too many
program headers (463)"


This matters when you find a 'core' file after time has passed and you don't remember when or what crashed.
