Here is what I did:

marco@c366:/tmp$ ./crash 
Segmentation fault (core dumped)
marco@c366:/tmp$ showtrans /servers/crash
/hurd/symlink crash-suspend
marco@c366:/tmp$ showtrans /servers/crash-suspend 
/hurd/crash --suspend

This is the sourcecode of `crash':

int
main (int argc, char *argv[])
{
  int *p = 0;
  *p = 213;
  return 0;
}
