Very, very useful.
Imagine a running program that's having some form of abnormal
behavior but can't be stopped (for long) or allowed to core...
It's stopped for only as long as the core takes to be written.
Currently, without the -s option the core produced by gcore is
inconsistent, and it's that behaviour that would be eliminated with my
change. Do you actually have a use for inconsistent core files?
