Ok after some digging around it appears (prima facie) that Linux 
doesn't have anything close to SEH. I am aware of POSIX signals 
but I am not sure if they work for individual threads in a 
process. Last I checked the whole process has to be hosed when 
you receive a segfault and there isn't much you can do about it. 
I am a Linux newbie but I am almost seriously considering 
implementing SEH for linux (in the kernel). Any Linux Gurus here 
who think this is a good idea?
