#112 SIGSEGV handler

[Matthew Hauer]

With the intermittent rogue pointer problems that come up every couple months, Dave suggested throwing a signal handler in to help salvage as much useful state information as possible when the system does hit a segmentation fault.

• status changed from new to assigned

Both exec.c and debug.c use signals already. See core/debug.c/exec_sighandler() for a good place to add the page fault handler. Recommend dumping global variables and core/debug.c/list_object() output (with details on) for all objects. Dump should go to stderr (the real one, not the redirect).
