Comment (by nbruin):

 That's not too surprising. A SEGV is quite different from an EINTR and
 with what we know now, it is not so far fetched that under GDB's control,
 the occurrence of EINTRs is a little different. I think there is merit to
 the proposed patch here for general reasons.

 For your SEGV problem: just dig into sage-doctest and extract the ....py
 file that gets run to test the doctests. That likely still triggers the
 SEGV and then you can run that file under other controls and/or with
 instrumentation. At least it'll get the doctest pipes out of your way.
 It's also a good way to see that doctests are run in a different
 environment than interactive sage use.
