Randy,
Thanks for the pointers to the patches. 
I am now able to see the core getting streamed to
a program (such as gzip). 

But I see that the core itself is quite small (truncated). 
I see this behavior even when using the normal core_pattern 
(without the "|" ). Wonder if it has something to do with the
changes to binfmt_elf.c ? I'm not sure why these
changes are required for pipe support.

Thanks,
Ravi

I don't know if these patches 1/3 and 2/3 represent the complete
infrastructure that Andi referred to, but you can find them here:
