The operating system does that already for us: the issue is using
sigaltstack and detecting when the segmentation fault is actually a
stack overflow (it can be done with some heuristics). Interested people
could look at the relative implementation in libsigsegv (on
sourceforge), but the code needs to be rewritten as LGPL.
