The latter is for the current process only, while kern.coredump.setid.path
is global.

The Amanda planner binary runs setuid root to open a privileged port, then
reuurns to unprivileged mode. As such it apparently cannot write a core to
the CWD. I guess I'd have to set proc.curproc.corename from the planner
process, then.
