You don't understand the problem - the problem is that once you get
the SEGV signal, any piece of memory in the program could contain
total junk. _Any_ piece. That means there is no way to do anything
sane. Say you save your spreadsheet - one of the values in the
100,000-row sheet could be slightly incorrect, for example.
