Hi, I'm a new contributor and I don't have permissions to modify the
Target Milestone on the bug I reported in bugzilla, but bug 32441 [1]
has an attached patch that was just approved by Andrew Burgess; see
Message ID <87ikouz5ys.fsf@redhat.com> [2]. This fixes a segfault in
core file generation, much like the other corefiles/32634 fix already
being included in the 16.3 release. I would love to see this fix
included!

Thanks!
