On OS X (10.4.11) with Postgres 8.2.4, control-\ in psql just quits
(drops back to shell prompt).

Hi all,
I found out this morning that entering CTRL \ at the psql prompt
will make psql dump core. The is reproducible on the two machines I
have here. Another server running downtown just quits without
dumping core.
All are running 8.2.5 on OpenBSD.
I thought I was in the editor, and that key combination invokes
nano's search and replace function.

Welcome to psql 8.2.5, the PostgreSQL interactive terminal.
Type: \copyright for distribution terms
\h for help with SQL commands
\? for help with psql commands
\g or terminate with semicolon to execute query
\q to quit

The core file is less than a meg in size, so I can either upload it
to our web site or e-mail it directly to someone if anyone is
interested.
Thanks,
Jeff Ross
