/proc/sys/kernel/core_pattern is set to:
|/home/lano1106/bin/pipe_core.sh %e %p

It normally points to systemd coredump module. I have pointed to a
simpler program for debugging purposes.

when core_pattern points to a local file, core dump files are just
fine. That was the whole point of 

commit 06af8679449d ("coredump: Limit what can interrupt coredumps")

I have been distracted by other things this week but my last attempt to
fix this problem appears to be successful. I will send out a small
patch set shortly...
