On my FreeBSD system, the core file renaming has been quite
useful. There have been times that I have had multiple deamons
dump core at the same time. All of the core files were preserved
because they were named differently.

If the daemons were started from cron or inetd you'd probably want an
instance/version distinction as well.

Seems to me like instancing alone would solve the name conflict
problem.
