Debuggers are the standard tool for that.

Catching segfaults on linux is possible, it's hard to do and rather
hacky though, this doesn't seem like something that should be included
in the unittesting functionality. I guess a seperate process could be
spawned for unit testing, and if a segfault occurs a message saying so
could be given, but anything more seems excessive, and is the job of a
debugger. Doesn't seem right to integrate a full debugger into every app
compiled with unit tests.
