Great, I'll start altering fcore to stream data from a slice() to disk 
directly instead of  trying to load it up in ElfSections first. I'll 
probably want to stream 4k chunks from the slice'd buffer to disk at a 
time Will the underlying bulk get() mechanism compensate by using 
/proc/$$/mem over ptrace.peek eventually? Or is that something I should 
do when the frysk and ptrace threads are merged?
