Now, your user space handler will cause another segfault when it does
the mov [ESP], 0. I think that gives you an infinite loop.
SEGFAULT inside a SEGV signal handler aborts the program (no way to turn
this off IIRC).

But you're not inside the signal handler when it happens. You returned.
Then how does the signal handler do anything? I mean, doesn't it need a
stack? Or does it just affect register variables? Most signal handlers
are normal functions, and isn't there some usage of the stack to save
registers?
It seems there should be a way to turn off the signal handler during the
time when you are suspicous of the stack being the culprit, then re-engage
the signal handler before throwing the error.
