It is basically like that. The details vary with OS and binary format,
but most times it doesn't involve a real core dump. Emacs just writes
a file which is in the binary format and contains its current memory
contents.

If Emacs dump core, this must be a bug... :-)
But it could be that the dump process uses non-standard section names
or something other non-standard, and that confuses strip.
