A
Crash dump was written to: erl_crash.dump
Crash dump requested by userAborted
```
The crash is intended as per the C file, but I could not find any
documentation on
this behavior outside of code, and it should definitely be listed in
the BREAK prompt.
It's confusing that a typo (I hit capslock before hitting 'a' by
mistake) would cause
a crash, and if it wasn't for asking in IRC, I'd still think this was
an implementation
bug instead of the documentation bug that it is.
