looks very cool. One problem with relying on the core file. It's possible
that more than one core file will be dumped. If we don't trap segv we
catch only the last segv, which can be very misleading.
So it looks like we want to have something like that:
- trap SEGVs and abort the tests immediately (need to write some C level
trap)
- run Devel::CoreStack on the dumped core file
If I'm not mistaken this can be developed as a standalone module.
