There has not yet been an obvious namespace in which to stick
core_pattern, and even worse exactly how to appropriate launch a process
in a container has not been figured out.

If those tricky problems can be solved we can have a core_pattern in a
container. What we have now is the best we have been able to figure out
so far.

Thanx Eric, but if I want to make docker works rely on this behaviour,
is that reliable?

I mean, I want to make a docker container to dump the
core file to a specified path in host by a pipe way. But I am afraid
this behaviour would be changed later. Any suggestion?

Currently, I work around this issue by detecting that the process is
crashing from a container (by comparing the namespace pid to the
global pid) and refuse to dump the core if it is from a container.

Tested on Ubuntu (kernel 3.16) and Fedora (kernel 4.1).
