[issue1215] Python hang when catching a segfault

[Guido van Rossum]

Guido van Rossum added the comment:

I'm not sure what the point of that would be.  Somebody might want to
send these asynchronously (using kill) which we might legitimately want
to catch.  Also you don't know which other synchronous signals a
platform might define.  I think at best a doc update on the relative
uselessness of handlers for synchronous signals (with examples) is all
we need.
