It's not too surprising.  The 4.4BSD gcore knew about things like VAX
pagetables (and nothing else).

I meant to move it into a syscall, but it was harder than I thought and
then I got distracted.  I think pk meant to do something about it at
one point, too.

What do you need gcore for that you can't do with an attachable
debugger?
