No, it's a feature ;-)  DOS/Windows users do not expect a ^\ to abort 
their program, so by default SIGQUIT is ignored.

If you want to stay with SIGQUIT, I can do something in go32-nat.c to get 
the standard Unix behavior.  However, note that there's also the _WIN32 
condition which ifdefs away the whole function.

That's what I thought; abort() sounds like a more portable way of dumping 
core where core files are supported and doing something similar where 
they aren't.
