ref (me): calling assert from C++ generates core dump, but
          not from Ada.


Someone just pointed out to me that C/C++ assert can generate
a core dump, and this is an expected behaviour.

So, It seems there is nothing wrong with the C++ program,
it core dumps becuase this is what it is supposed to do.

I think this is not natural behaviour, but since it is
documented like this, one can't argue with it.
