I think that that's by far the dominant usage of crash. It would surprise me if someone used the word crash but intended to exclude panics, etc.
It's a very language-dependent meaning. In C, the only type of crash is the OS shutting it down on some sort of trap. Everything else is the result of an explicit code path. Since we're talking about C, it's the definition I'm using. In other contexts, other definitions will apply.
