I have a patch set based of a slightly older kernel which offers compressed(gzip)
core dumps. These files compress exceptionally well. This feature can be
helpful for embedded linux systems with smaller file systems. The core dumps
can be taken off line, un-compressed and analyzed.
If there's any interest, I'll update the patch and post it.

Do this by feeding coredump to external process via
/proc/sys/kernel/core_pattern

That's a much better solution. I'll use that going forward.
Thanks
