Some further detail: 0xF4, the HLT opcode, is a privileged instruction; it
doesn't actually get executed. Instead, a Privileged Instruction hardware
exception is raised. I would expect Linux to turn this into SIGILL. So I would
expect an exit code of 132, if nothing is done to process it. There is no way
it should give a SEGV.

On Windows, druntime checks the offending instruction, and if it is HLT, it is
identified as a runtime assert(0).
