The behaviour you are describing is the default for all Unix processes 
running in terminals. It's not the duty of SBCL to document OS defaults.

Speaking in another way: is the behaviour you describe documented 
anywhere for Python, Ruby, Perl, Erlang, and so on? I'm asking because 
the Unix python/irb/perl/erl programs react in the very same way - 
quitting and optionally producing core dumps.

Or in yet another way: where does the man page for the Unix cat binary 
mention this? Because hitting Ctrl+4 on a running cat process does the same.
