Sure, it is my pleasure. :)

I am current testing with kernel 2.6.35.7 and 3.0.8, and they are both ok.
But I see below warnings during extracting, while the extracted core
dump image is
OK for gdb, I don't know whether it there is still some missing in
original implementation,
or those pages just don't existed in memory?

gcore: PT_LOAD[165]: af900000 - af90e000
gcore: WARNING: page fault at af909000
gcore: WARNING: page fault at af90d000
