 Thanks for this patch Robert, I have applied it to SVN.
 
 but we would love to get some feedback from OSX users.

+First of all. Great initiative, thanks for looking into this.
+
+The problem is that when the application really crashes. A sigseg in native code, then it 
+will not bring up the crashreporter.
+
+This makes it practically impossible to get crashlogs from end-users because they will 
+never be printed to the console. We have a fairly large application which sometimes has 
+bugs and we rely on users being able to send us crashlogs to fix them.
+
+So for us to be able to use it, the solution would have to differentiate managed null 
+reference exceptions and native sigsegvs.
+
+For a managed null referenced exception it should stop the macho exception and continue 
+running like nothing happened. For a native null reference, it should pass the exception 
+on, thus causing the crash reporter to popup and print the stacktrace and other debug 
+info.
