Oh, I didn't know that. I am not a expert, as quite unexperienced user, my
opinion is that no program should give core dump, if there has not happen
a malfunction. After all is that so hard to fix? Anyway I was just trying
to help, if you consider this normal operation then it's OK, I still
personaly consider it bit odd feature.

Should programs just stop/quit if they get SIGQUIT? Infact when I made
this bug report, I didn't even know that CTRL-\ sends SIGQUIT signal to
program.
