Having recently been debugging core dump support in the base system
utilities I spotted what looks like a bug in your code: the 'execfile'
parameter to kvm_open or kvm_openfiles should be NULL if you want to
use the kernel from the running system; some people may not be running
a kernel from "/boot/kernel/kernel" by default.
