I know it's possible to force an application to core, but I'm not so certain about the reload and execute part. Is this even remotely possible?
Take a look at the "unexec" mechanism used by emacs.
Not currently. The core dump doesn't contain a lot of state information which you would need to resume execution. In some cases, it's completely impossible. How do you reinstate a network connection, for example?
For many purposes, opening a new network connection to a persistent resource (such as a connection dictionary for a database) is sufficient.
