        The following changes were made by David Taylor
        <taylor@texas.cygnus.com>, Edith Epstein
        <eepstein@sophia.cygnus.com>, Jim Blandy
        <jimb@zwingli.cygnus.com>, and Elena Zannoni
        <ezannoni@kwikemart.cygnus.com> as part of the project to merge in
        changes originally made by HP; HP did not create ChangeLog
        entries.

        encounter a section with an unknown type, don't punt.  Instead,
        just skip it.  Also, count the number of sections of known type
        that we encounter.  If we encounter at least one good one, then
        we'll declare that the file is a core file.  If we encounter any
        unknown ones but some known ones, then we'll issue a warning (but
        still declare it to be a core file). Also, correctly decide when a
        file is not a core.
