+Subject: [PATCH] [gconfd] Remove (worse than) useless signal handlers for SEGV, FPE, etc
+
+Modern operating systems like Fedora tend to include system-wide crash
+handlers (like ABRT) which operate by processing unhandled crashes
+(signals such as SIGSEGV).  By catching SIGSEGV but actually doing
+nothing with it, GConf is breaking these crash handlers.
+
+Delete all of the handlers for signals like SIGFPE, SIGSEGV which can't
+be treated as recoverable.
