Not sure who claimed you are an idiot, but you don't understand SIGSEGV and
how it works.

Well, no.
What you are trying is to magically recover from sigsegv.

You can't get it that way - when you handler is called from the event
loop, you will have the call stack from the event loop.

Yes, and it makes sense for your case.
