This implementation is not as polished and painless as you might like:
* It corrupts the current Lisp image enough that the current process
needs to be killed afterwards. This can be worked around by forking
another process that saves the core.
- * It will not work if multiple threads are in use.
* There is absolutely no binary compatibility of core images between
different runtime support programs. Even runtimes built from the same
sources at different times are treated as incompatible for this
