fix coredump breakage
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
commit 4f526fe upstream.

Let me count the ways in which I'd screwed up:

* when emitting a page, handling of gaps in coredump should happen
before fetching the current file position.
* fix for a problem that occurs on rather uncommon setups (and hadn't
been observed in the wild) had been sent very late in the cycle.
* ... with badly insufficient testing, introducing an easily
reproducible breakage.  Without giving it time to soak in -next.
