Certainly, the ELF core files dumped by NetBSD have a PT_LOAD section for each VM map entry, so the memory map information is already there. Now, for mapped files, it doesn't record the path name like you get with /proc/PID/maps, but that's something that could be fixed by having one or more additional PT_NOTE sections where the note contains a PT_LOAD index to file name mapping (with the path string being contained in the note). -- thorpej
