Subject: Re: [PATCH 0/2] Demangler crash handler

This adds two calls to sigaction and a call to sigsetjmp to every
demangling invocation.

I wonder whether the performance cost of this is noticeable; and if so,
how large the effect is.

If it is too large we could perhaps arrange to do the sigaction calls
just once and see if that helps.
