kdbg-2.0.4
	
>Description:
if kdbg is started as 'kdbg program core' or core file is opened through gui menu,
then kdbg actually fails to open the core file with the following error:
GDB: Undefined target command: "core xxxxx.core". Try "help target".

The message obviously comes from gdb(1).
"help target" in gdb on my system produces:
List of target subcommands:

target FreeBSD-core -- FreeBSD threads support for core files
target async -- Use a remote computer via a serial line
target child -- Unix child process (started by the "run" command)
target exec -- Use an executable file as a target
target extended-async -- Use a remote computer via a serial line
target extended-remote -- Use a remote computer via a serial line
target freebsd-threads -- FreeBSD threads support
target remote -- Use a remote computer via a serial line

As you can see "core" target is indeed missing here. Not sure if this is gdb's fault,
but I suspect that kdbg should use "target FreeBSD-core" instead of "target core".

>How-To-Repeat:
run the following:
kdbg some_program core_file
