First, make yourself a program like this:

undertow:~ 3>more libfix.c
__register_frame_info() {}
__unregister_frame_info() {}
__deregister_frame_info() {}

Then compile it:
gcc -shared -o libfix.so libfix.c

Put libfix.so into /usr/local/lib, or whereever else you feel is appropriate.

Next, add this to your .cshrc:

setenv LD_PRELOAD /usr/local/lib/libfix.so

Works for me!
