My amd64 -current system just crashed and rebooted a few minutes ago.
Upon reboot, savecore wrote a rather large netbsd.0.core.gz file. But
gdb doesn't seem to know how to process it, not even after un-gziping,
claiming that the file is not a valid core file.
Is there some magic incantation to make gdb read this file? I'd like
to find out why my system crashed! :)
