Quoting St?phane Graber (stgraber@ubuntu.com):
> This adds a new %P variable to be used in core_pattern. This variable contains

> current namespace which isn't always what we want.
> 
> The main use for this is to make it easier to handle crashes that happened

> dumped into the container or forwarded to the host with the right PID
> (from the host's point of view).
