The Mach exception handling code in `mach_signal.c` was necessary to avoid a bug in the Crash Reporter on old versions of Mac OS X in which it would pop up on SIGSEGV even if the process handled the segfault and recovered. We should check whether this is still the case in 10.5, 10.6, and 10.7 and use standard Unix signal handling for MacOS X if so.
