On Linux, you can catch SIGSEGV and print a stacktrace in the signal handler. This is pretty standard procedure. In theory, we *could* have druntime install a handler for SIGSEGV upon program startup that prints a stacktrace and exits (or do whatever the equivalent is on Windows, if compiled on Windows).
