I think it likely that the SEC_HAS_CONTENTS test is just a hack to work
around another problem. I'm applying the following to go back to the
old behaviour.

Thanks.

You might like to clear SEC_HAS_CONTENTS in gdb too, as it will result
in needless file space being allocated.

I'll investigate this. Can't say I completely understand what's
happening here, but I can always bother Michael Snyder with it, since
he wrote the initial gcore code.

Cheers,
