is that "core" a core dump?

if it is indeed core dump, I think simply pass it to gdb, e.g:
gdb <program elf binary> <the above core name>
and start playing with it e.g dumping stack trace.

NB: IMHO NT_PRPSINFO is just a section that describes the VMAs of the
crashed program. Quite likely an ELF documentation will mention about
it. Try googling...
