Being a script, it can be locally adjusted as last resort. *shrug* The gcore of, at least, NetBSD uses the name without changes. FreeBSD also seems to have its own (both descending from a 4.2BSD tool). Most users probably invoke the commands inside gdb if no tool provided by the OS, that could explain why the script is not a priority. Cheers, GSR
