That's what C-\ does. Try it with any other program:

$ sleep 1
Quit (core dumped)


Most distributions ship with coredumpsize limited to 0 by default though, so
you would only cause it to crash without a core dump by default. Either yours
doesn't or you've enabled core dumps with "ulimit -c unlimited" (not that
that's a bad thing).
