Description Andrew Cagney 2007-12-04 16:44:27 UTC 
The argument list contained in the corefile is truncated to ~80 characters (and
isn't even correctly separated).  This makes identifying a correct core file's
arguments (and re-starting the executable) impossible.

Suggest writing out the full original argument list to a separate .note section.
Comment 1 Neil Horman 2008-08-05 16:30:20 UTC 
with 5.3 you should be able to use proc/sys/kernel/core_pattern to interrogate /proc/<pid>cmdline for a processes command line arguments.
