The problem is of course that getbounds() not only gets the count from the
bounds file but also increments it. The decision to write a core hasn't
been made at the time printheader is called for -vv. Thus the reported
bounds might not correspond to a core. The newly added dump status is
also meaningless in the -vv case, since the status may still be
determined after the -vv printheader.
How about just not showing the bounds for the -vv case?
