Comment (by vbraun):

 It makes sense to have the "Unhandled SIGSEGV..." message at the end. I
 don't think trying to get back from the debugger into the main program is
 a good idea. Sage is currently in a signal handler after something bad
 happened, there are no guarantees that anything is still working. In fact,
 just calling `printf()` from the signal handler is, strictly speaking,
 illegal. But the `sage-CSI` script can easily print the message.

 The "The target process is frozen while this script runs and resumes when
 it is finished." is correct (unless you add `--kill`, what did you
 expect). In fact you can use the `sage-CSI` to see the status of a long-
 running computation without disturbing it if you don't pass `--kill`.
