GDB's thread code is implemented as (loosely speaking):

thread model
-> thread db library
-> LWP / linux process / ... interface

VS handling a core file:

thread model
-> thread db library
-> core file interface

provided the core file contains the same information as would have been
returned by the LWP / linux process / ... interface, it should all be
fine ......
