Is it really necessary for fatal() to dump core?

tools.c:fatal() dumps core because it calls abort.

Considering that the core can be quite large (esp. on a 64bit system),
and that there's fatal_dump() as well if you really want one, can we
just make fatal() exit(1) instead of abort()ing?

Cheers,
