How about abort()?? From the Solaris manpages:
Catching the signal is intended to provide the application
writer with a portable means to abort processing, free from
possible interference from any implementation-provided
library functions. If SIGABRT is neither caught nor
ignored, and the current directory is writable, a core dump
may be produced.
