It probably drops core, rather than just "exiting" (I view "exiting" as
meaning "explicitly makes the choice to exit by calling 'exit()' or
returning from 'main()'", rather than "being terminated involuntarily by
the OS because it e.g. made a reference through a bad pointer").

If so, could you use a debugger to get us a stack trace? The current
version in the CVS tree, at least, doesn't dump core (or otherwise exit)
when I try printing to a file; perhaps something got fixed since 0.8.10
was released, but it could just be that it only dumps core in particular
situations.
