Description of problem: I have a bunch of `core` files left in my home directory, so I'd like to check what they're from to see if I should delete them. `file` used to show the program, but no longer does. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): file-5.22-4.fc22.x86_64 Actual results: $ file core.* core.11915: ELF 64-bit LSB core file x86-64, version 1 (SYSV), too many program headers (912) core.15711: ELF 64-bit LSB core file x86-64, version 1 (SYSV), too many program headers (1188) core.17168: ELF 64-bit LSB core file x86-64, version 1 (SYSV), too many program headers (474) core.1973: ELF 64-bit LSB core file x86-64, version 1 (SYSV), too many program headers (1354) core.2027: ELF 64-bit LSB core file x86-64, version 1 (SYSV), too many program headers (1451) core.2166: ELF 64-bit LSB core file x86-64, version 1 (SYSV), too many program headers (881) core.2229: ELF 64-bit LSB core file x86-64, version 1 (SYSV), too many program headers (879) core.22530: ELF 64-bit LSB core file x86-64, version 1 (SYSV), too many program headers (645) core.22814: ELF 64-bit LSB core file x86-64, version 1 (SYSV), too many program headers (604) core.2501: ELF 64-bit LSB core file x86-64, version 1 (SYSV), too many program headers (1183) core.2837: ELF 64-bit LSB core file x86-64, version 1 (SYSV), too many program headers (1069) core.2932: ELF 64-bit LSB core file x86-64, version 1 (SYSV), too many program headers (537) core.3166: ELF 64-bit LSB core file x86-64, version 1 (SYSV), too many program headers (474) Expected results: Executable path should be printed at the end instead of what appears to be an error message "too many program headers". Additional information: gdb is able to read most (except some truncated) core files and extract the executable path from them.
Broken in Fedora 23 as well: $ rpm -q file file-5.22-5.fc23.x86_64

This message is a reminder that Fedora 23 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 23. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '23'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version. Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not able to fix it before Fedora 23 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete.
Fedora 23 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2016-12-20. Fedora 23 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this bug. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
