Seems like a reasonable idea, but can you please share code with 
the proc implementation? 

It's a bit unusal to have ASCII in a coredump, but I suppose expressing
this in binary would be somewhat ugly.

It seems a bit dubious to do this without locking even in a core dump.

You have a one-off bug here. Also below.
