Just type in the console or a script:

  -- alloc 1 GB for memtx tuple arena
  box.cfg{memtx_memory = 1024 * 1024 * 1024}

  -- create a test space
  s = box.schema.space.create('test')
  s:create_index('primary')

  -- fill it until we run out of memory
  for i = 1, math.huge do s:insert{i, string.rep('x', 100 * 1024)} end

  -- double the size of memtx arena by adding more slabs
  box.cfg{memtx_memory = 2 * 1024 * 1024 * 1024}

  -- fill them up too
  for i = 1, math.huge do s:insert{i, string.rep('x', 100 * 1024)} end

Then kill the tarantool with SIGSEGV to generate a core. The core size
should be considerably less than 2 GB with strip_core enabled.
