GNU libsigsegv library can handle page faults. A page fault occurs when a program tries to access a region of memory that is currently not available.

Catching and handling a page fault is a useful technique for implementing garbage collectors, stack overflow handlers, persistent databases, and distributed shared memory.

Requirements:
Support for GCC 4 contributed by Paolo Bonzini.
Support for MacOS X i386 contributed by Bruno Haible.
Improved support for Woe32 contributed by Doug Currie.
