Subject: Re: instructions logged by Intel PT not always in the address range of NT_FILES

I guess that in coredump generated by `gcore`, there is a missing
segment item which contains:

    0xb7e1e740 - 0xb7f476dd is .text in /lib/i386-linux-gnu/libc.so.6

The above line is from `info files` when I did `gdb exec coredump`.

My best regards to you.
