Ah, great - thanks!

Yes, likely.  They are delivered as a SEGV with SEGV_CPERR.

I wouldn't have expected so, it should just be a function call and
definitely didn't do anything funky on arm64.  It seems more likely that
we've managed to corrupt the stack or shadow stack - most likely the new
thread is still using the original shadow stack rather than the new one
and so corrupts it.  Again not immediately seeing where.  I'll have
another look tomorrow if nobody has any bright ideas before then...
