For what it's worth, this is often a harmless warning message when debugging a user process core dump.  The core creator code in the kernel adds an extra memory segment to the core file when it writes it out.  There's a bug report tracking the issue but it's pretty much cosmetic so it hasn't been addressed yet.  Try debugging your core file and see if it works.  You may want to specify the name of your binary on the lldb cmd line like 'lldb a.out -c /tmp/core.33158'.
