You can handle SEGV and BUS. Though probably not meaningfully in Python, 
haven't tried; if they fire in Python something internal is already badly 
wrong.

IIRC, in the distant past the Bourne shell used SIGSEGV as a trigger to 
allocate more memory:-)

Really, the only 3 a UNIX process can't intercept are the first three: STOP, 
CONT, KILL.

Since everything else Martin says seems to be in the context of "in Python", no 
other quibbles.
