I use a little trick :
$ gdb ls core

warning: core file may not match specified executable file.
Core was generated by `cdrecord -v speed=4 fs=8 dev=s -isosize

Program terminated with signal 11, Segmentation fault.

As you see when you give a program that don't match the core file , gdb
will tell you what command has generated the core.
