[PATCH] make sysctl/kernel/core_pattern and fs/exec.c agree on maximum core filename size

[Dan Aloni]

Make sysctl/kernel/core_pattern and fs/exec.c agree on maximum 
core filename size and change it to 128, so that extensive patterns 
such as '/local/cores/%e-%h-%s-%t-%p.core' won't result in 
truncated filename generation.
