SIGQUIT is the signal to quit a program. This is the nice way of doing it, files are closed and the memory is released by the program. The rude way would be using SIGKILL.
If what you want to do is produce a CORE file and about, you could use a different signal such as SIGSYS.
Read the "man 7 signals" for more info. Also the command "kill -l" will list all of the signals.
