> When crash handler receives a SIGSEGV signal that is caused by a stack overflow, it tries to transfer control out of signal handler (just like it does for other kind of signals). But the problem is that it tries to write memory pointed to by SP register (ESP or RSP) of the original crash context. When crash happened because of stack overflow, writing to that memory may not be possible since it is protected by a guard page. In this case crash handler crashes itself:
> Program terminated with signal 11, Segmentation fault.

> The crash happens for me on Gentoo Linux installations both on x86 and x86_64. The easiest way to reproduce it is to run StackTest from the smoke VM tests.
