Just to confirm, this does the same thing as rproc_coredump() with the
difference that instead of storing the segments in program headers, you
reference them using section headers?

Once you start populating the string table there's no checks that this
isn't overrun.

But really

I assume this last part creates the null entry? How about mentioning
that in a comment - and perhaps why there needs to be a null entry.

This name is too generic. Why is it 16?

This can't be static as this will only start at 1 on the first
invocation of rproc_minidump().

I think it would be perfectly fine if you simply scan the string list to
find the next available slot.

No need to initialize ret as the first usage is an assignment.
