Well, when hacking stuff, you onviously know how to deal with that. I am
using two systems and a serial console, so I never end up with a useless
system by having the console crash.
However, for a production system, I don't want those unexpected signals to
happen, so I don't think I want to catch me, too. We don't do in any other part
of the system either.
Thanks,
