This can mean that librtld_db is out of sync with ld.so.1. Offhand, it doesn't
sound
like that is the case with your example. Are you building and modifying linker
components
in your build area?
I found the following online that might be useful in understanding what

I think Michael Hunter's hypothesis that your core file is truncated or

bad is a more likely answer.
