Hi Eli,
[presuming this isn't a joke]

Yes.  I am a nit-picky native-English speaker ;-)
and I am sure that the proposed replacement is grammatically correct
while the original is not.

Or perhaps you'd prefer this more succinct description:

  -* Core File Generation::        Cause a program dump its core
  +* Core File Generation::        Make a program dump its core
