 Dmitry,
 
 from man fstat(1):
 SYNOPSIS
      fstat [-fmnv] [-M core] [-N system] [-p pid] [-u user] [file ...]
 
 when using the -M parameter, you should give it a core dump file, so
 it's not clear to me, if your example is wrong usage or you wanted to
 tell us something more.
 
 Clearly, it would be nice to have the fstat utility being either more
 flexible with wrong usage or giving a more meaningful error message.
