Well, Ron's suggestion will work, but it seems a little inelegant (in
particular, if you forget to remove the 'core' file later, it will
prevent future programs from dumping core).
A slightly more elegant solution is to add a signal handler for the
signal you're getting (SIGSEG, I think?) which just causes the process
to exit. Like this:
/* at the beginning of main() */
extern int segflt();
signal(SIGSEG, segflt);
.
.
.
segflt()
{
exit(1);
}
