    Hi Dave,

    > There are several stupid bugs in binfmt_elf's core dumping code.

    Back in 1.3.XX I noticed a bunch of bugs in binfmt_elf.c like the ones
    you report. Somebody cleaned up most of them a long time, but basically,
    Eric Youngdale wrote bad code. I don't say this lightly. He wrote the
    original xconfig parser too, which has caused me a lot of grief.

    I recommend someone with a clue take a baseball bat or a chainsaw to
    fs/binfmt_elf.c.
