How about var/run/<run script>.core? For example,

  build/x86_64> objdump -h var/run/log.core

  var/run/log.core:     file format elf64-x86-64

  Sections:
  Idx Name          Size      VMA               LMA              File off  Algn
    0 .text         00107e88  0000000000100000  0000000000100000 00001000  2**5
