IMO these tests are broken anyway!! See the reports about what happens
on windows! If you want to test if certain code crashes, then install
a signal handler on SIGSEGV/SIGBUS/SIGILL/whatever first and then exit
cleanly from the signal handler with an error code, rather than
relying on unreliable OS behavior...
