I agree the dumps are a useful tool in addition to gdb; but I would like
to know more what is not reliable with gdb core dump debugging. I
actually find that gdb's core dump debugging is often times more
reliable than using gdb to debug running programs.

The biggest problem I've had with gdb is with debugging threaded apps.
gdb is still quite buggy for multithread debugging :(
