The change looks fine to be, but if you want even better corefile
placement look at the kernel.core_pattern sysctl.  I have it set to

/corefiles/core.%e.%p.%h.%t

which gives you all corefiles in /corefiles with a very descriptive
name. (you want /corefiles read/write/executable by the world and sticky
for it, just like /tmp)
