It was my understanding that Linux kernel 2.4.3 had the change to support
core dumps for multithreaded applications, although I don't know this from

Here's a link to one of the messages regarding this in the linux-kernel distribution list.
Right now I'm not finding where I read that this patch was applied to 2.4.3.
