I tested my patch on Windows (XP), Ubuntu (10.4) and FreeBSD (8) and it
works correctly: all tests pass and the system fault handler (Windows
popup, Apport and core dump) is also called.

The fault handler is disabled by default and it is clearly separated
(eg. it doesn't touch the API of a module). Can't you make an exception
for this new feature?

The first answer to my previous email thread was Georg, answer starting
with "I very much like having a traceback on (some) segmentation
faults" :-)
