We have a bug where hotspot gets a SIGSEGV when it encounters a null pointer
exception. This is fine and expected to happen, but somehow, we seem to get
a second SIGSEGV inside the signal handler and this is not cool, so the thread
gets stuck in an infinite loop. I've fixed the problems with ucontext in
current, and my test programs show that we put in ucontext consistent values
with linux, but it still does not work. I'll play with it a bit more when
I have more time.
