In systems contexts "crash" means sigsegv or sigill (but not e.g. an intentional abort)
In non-systems contexts it can just mean "premature termination". Rust, having both kinds of programmers, uses .... both :)
So a Rust panic is a crash, but so is a Rust segfault, depending on who you talk to.
Generally I try to explicitly say "panic" and "segfault".
