 Well, still IMHO ''Sage'' should catch the segfault (or whatever).

 [Note that CLISP IIRC detected a (Lisp) ''stack overflow'', which ECL did
 only on some systems; to me this is pretty different to a few thousand
 times issuing "access to protected memory detected", finally really
 crashing with an uncatched segfault.]
