A few suggestions...

UPDATING

35

The core(5) what? Program, facility, process, functionality? There seems to be something missing here that would clarify what core(5) is.

36

I don't understand this second sentence.
Maybe extend this UPDATING entry a bit to briefly describe the problem (current behaviour: each CPU in the system does a core dump, they are overwriting each other, the last one wins). Then describe the solution or your change: the system will now create a new core dump if there is a free slot or if all slots are taken we will overwrite the oldest one. (from your summary in the other review). Maybe describe what "slot" is in this context. Is it space on the disk, a directory/file, or some kind of entry in a data structure?

@bcr Thanks! You are right. Maybe something like that?

[bcr]

Ah, now even *I* understand it. ;-)
A few fixes to the new text, then it is fine.

"a process" or "processes": singular or plural

Previously needs to have a comma after it.
s/was/were/
s/kernel/the kernel would/
