Hi Alexander,

  First of all, please do not send problems like this directly to us.
  Instead send them to the binutils mailing list:

        binutils@sources.redhat.com

  Secondly, with a bug like this we really need a reproducible test
  case in order to investigate the problem.  Since it appears that
  readelf is unable to correctly process the information in your core
  file, an example core file would be ideal - BUT - please do not send
  large attachments to the list either.  If the core is very small
  then you could attach it, but otherwise it would be best if you
  could make it available for download via FTP or HTTP and post the
  URL.

  A description of how the core file was generated in the first place
  may help as well.

Cheers
        Nick
