Bytes to Segfault
Challenge
Cause the currently running program to receive the SIGSEGV signal (on Linux or other *nix systems) as fast as possible. What it does with the signal doesn't matter as long as it receives it.
This is code golf, smallest answer in each language wins. Some languages will have a tougher time than others. Keep in mind that if you depend on uninitalized data, it needs to always result in a segfault; a 0.000001% chance to not work invalidates your solution.
