Bug #1442
Updated by tuxillo about 10 years ago
If a process blocks (or ignores?) SIGSEGV (or SIGFPE, SIGILL, SIGBUS, etc.) and then triggers the associated signal without having a handler installed, the process/thread will be stuck on the triggering instruction without any hope. I think the kernel should detect such a situation (i.e. trap leading to blocked/ignored signal without handler) and should kill the process.
