"0" is a valid RLIMIT_CORE value and should not be overloaded to mean
"running pipe handler".  Instead, the pipe handler should get an
RLIMIT_CORE of "1" and leave the rest of the system able to run handlers
when processes have already been started with RLIMIT_CORE 0.

Preferably, RLIMIT_CORE values should not be overloaded at all, and the
kernel should know which process is the handler, and ignore crashes of
that pid.
