* Because the kernel adds some informative sections to a image of program at
* generating coredump, we need some margin. The number of extra sections is
* 1-3 now and depends on arch. We use "5" as safe margin, here.
*
* ELF extended numbering allows more than 65535 sections, so 16-bit bound is
* not a hard limit any more. Although some userspace tools can be surprised by
* that.
