I have the same issue still in the version 1.2.1 from April 2008:
http://code.google.com/p/google-coredumper/downloads/detail?name=coredumper-1.2.
1.tar.gz&can=2&q=
on SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 11.0 (x86_64). You wrote coredumper.c:192. In
version 1.2.1, this would be the call to
ClearCoreDumpParameters(¶ms)
Does anyone (Andy?) have successfully solved this? I would be very thankful for
any hint before using gdb to try whether this is the point in the coredumper
lib where the error occurs.

Since support for this package seems to have evaporated, I considered
diagnosing the issue myself, but was faced with an unbounded continuation
engineering task that didn't look very rewarding. Instead I turned to the gdb
gcore command. The sequence is to fork and exec gdb passing a parameter file
(as the gcore script does) and wait for the child to terminate. This gives
much the same results as the coredumper package (except you can't get inside to
influence dumping shared store segments) but the gdb team do maintain the
package. The other downside is that you have to have gdb installed, which may
be an issue for some sites. Note there's a problem on SLES11 with gdb gcore
for which a fix is available (I don't know if that fix fixes the core dumper
issue as well - the symptoms are again unanalysable stacks). You can also fork
and abort to get a dump using kernel. Shared store can be unmapped to avoid
dumping it &/or the kernel controls set up for the process. The downsides are
you have little control over the file named (by default SLES always use the
'core' pattern - you can create and switch to a directory to manage this, but
the site can of course set any pattern they like for the system) and you lose
all the threads apart from the one you fork from - not so hot in a
multi-threaded environment.
