However, since there were such a large number of problems where you had to
kill -9 gimp because it tried to catch all and everything, wouldn't it be
safer to not try to play games, at least with the more problematic signals
like SIGSEGV or SIGILL?
(OTOH, gimp crashes ever more rarely the closer 1.2 gets!)

a compiletime option (per-plug-in) would be perfect, yes, yes, yes! please,
please, please!!!! My problems are related to not being able to catch many
signals (TERM, PIPE) in my plug-ins (gimp-perl as well as some specialised
perl-plug-ins like the Perl-Server!)
