Thanks for forwarding that. I've bounced your mails to a few extra folks, please include them in CC in future. Neil last touched the coredump pipe stuff before me, Jakub reported the spaces in core_pattern issue and Andrew merged my patch.
The patch seems like a reasonable approach but I don't have much experience with Linux kernel internals.
