Blake,
I just found your PR has never been touched by anybody. I'm sorry nobody
ever answered this.
If the root touches any file, which already existed before, the file
owner does not change. This is also the case when using `su' to get
superuser rights.
In your case, the file core has been created by user 'trew' and while
root also writes to that file, it doesn't change file ownership.
I'm seeing this as 'by design' and not a bug. Do you agree to have your
PR being closed?
Thanks!
