A program which catches SIGSEGV can ineed do that, to some extent (there
are bad crashes, like when the stack is scrogged, that would prevent even
this from working).  However, Mark was suggesting a solution that should 
be part of the library.  And a library function that hooks SIGSEGV 
complicates its usage too much.
