The core files can get renamed incorrectly if the bosserver has to
deal with 2 cores in quick succession.  Most likely the fileserver and
voslerver processes cored around the same time and when the bosserver
process was renaming the "core" file to corevol.fs (thinking the
volserver just cored), it was really renaming the the core file
associated with the fileserver process.
