      What were you trying to do that didn't work?

      libdwfl fails to report some modules in corefiles containing non-contiguous and interleaving shared library segments.

      For example

      In between non-contiguous ld-2.17.so segments there are a number of segments for other shared libraries. dwfl_segment_report_module can either fail to report the modules corresponding to these libraries or prematurely close the module's file descriptors.
