Interesting.  When I did the RT port of CTeX for Tomas Rokicki way back,
undump was one of the few files needing changes.  This is due to the different
format of core.  If you want to know the details, compare the man pages
of core(5) for 4.3/RT and the VAX BSD version.

The fix is simple.  You need to add an extra line to position at the right 
place. This is the correct RT version of read_u for 4.3/RT:

read_u(core)
FILE *core;
{
#ifdef ibm032
	(void) fseek(core, (long) (UPAGES * NBPG - sizeof u), 0);
#endif
	if (fread(&u, sizeof u, 1, core) != 1)
	{
		perror("Couldn't read user structure from core file");
		exit(1);
	}
}

Enjoy.
