It's unexec()! Yay! (You're an Emacs user, I trust. That or a Lisp hacker. Nobody else ever treats memory images as something *executable* :) )

They're not generally produced by snapshotting a running process (the same
one that's doing the snapshotting) and dumping it out to disk. (Also, unexec() can produce things like ELF files, and as far as I recall it does it without using the OS's core-dumping mechanism.)
