disabling crash recovery
Is there any way of disabling the automagic crash recovery? I'm
attempting to debug a crash and the crash recovery / restart seems to be
confusing gdb. Just letting SIGSEGV take its natural course of action
would be fine.

The crashdump knob gave me a basic stack trace, but it wasn't really
enough information to debug the issue. I ended up having to make the
one-line source change to that page to disable SIGSEGV interception in
order to get a core file and point gdb at that. Unfortunately, gdb on
FreeBSD gets seems to get confused by thread switching and usually locks
up even before I can trigger the crash. I only managed to capture the
crash once with gdb running a live process.
For fun, try configuring a build with --enable-debug and
--enable-dbgutil. Lots of pop-up assertion failure alerts ...

That's definitely helpful.

"handle SIGSEGV stop" was sufficient for me to get start zooming in on
the crash.

are you looking for this [1]?

If not, then I only know the commandline parameter for configure to
disable this feature when creating a new build.
