>Description:
	
	gdb can't examine core files anymore.
	You can run gdb on a execuatable and examine it after it core
	dumpgs, but you cann't examine a core dump file.
	gdb says unknown file type.
>How-To-Repeat:
	write a program which crashes, and creates a core file, run gdb on it.
	gdb -core a.out.core   or
	gdb a.out a.out.core  or
	gdb a.out.core

	all of these say a.out.core unknown type of core file(or similar).
