I don't doubt that catching such cases is useful.
libc is just not the right place to do it.
If there is an actual crash, then you can set print-fatal-signals
or you can install something fancy with core_pattern=|fancy-thing.
There is no shortage of such fancy things around nowadays.
Thanks,
Roland
