All etp macros work on both core files a live nodes. The only time I've
seen that error from etp-ports is when the VM crashed before the internal
ports array was initialized.

I'm starting to suspect that there is something wrong with your debugging
session. The stack trace that you have printed is corrupt, and it cannot
find a working port table. Make extra sure that you are using the same
beam.smp to run your gdb session from as generated the core.

Since the stack is corrupt it is not possible to know what called into the
realloc from the stack trace.
