I bet the exit status of the program(s) that dumped core on you won't be zero.
A little bash (csh?) script around those C programs would tell you the answer.

It seems to me like you are trying to tie together 3 core dumps with 3 programs, am I correct?

Why not run one of them, see what the core dump naming scheme is, then see how that compares to the three you already have - if they're based on timestamp, program name, or what...
