Feature. You'll get the same effect from most apps (try "cat >foo"
for example). Do "stty -a" and notice that <Ctrl>-\ is bound to the
"quit" action. Unless the app puts stdin into "raw" mode, typing
<Ctrl>-\ sends SIGQUIT to the application. Then do "man 7 signal" and

OK, bug. SIGQUIT is not supposed to trigger a core dump, just a
termination.
