That makes gdb abort and dump its core.  That's not what one would want
normally.  gcore is what I wanted:

(gdb) help maint dump-me
Get fatal error; make debugger dump its core.
GDB sets it's handling of SIGQUIT back to SIG_DFL and then sends
itself a SIGQUIT signal.

(gdb) help gcore
Save a core file with the current state of the debugged process.
Argument is optional filename.  Default filename is 'core.<process_id>'.
