   This maybe a case of RTFM, but is there an easy method of checking
the u area of a user process core dump under adb, other than remapping
[/ b2 e2 f2] to [0 1400 0]? (4.3 BSD on a VAX)

   Although there may be hysterical raisins for putting the u area first
in a core dump, it might be useful if adb could map it back in above the
stack. Possibly not worth the effort, but it can be a trap for young/tired
players who haven't read `core (5)' recently.
