The point is that the kernel terminal driver takes that as a command to send SIGQUIT to your program, not much different from mapping control-C to SIGINT for example. And the default handling for SIGQUIT is stop+dump core. It's a feature, not a bug. regards, tom lane ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 7: don't forget to increase your free space map settings
