Title:
  fails to identify what program left a core file

Status in file package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  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.
