If I do this, how can I support the followiing scenario:

1) the process sets an exception handler to catch memory faults
2) the process sets its signal mask to catch SIGSEGV

On MacOS X it will still get exceptions instead of SIGSEGV. On NetBSD,
if we use the signal mask to inhibit the signal, step 2 will cause
signals to be delivered where exception should be. 

This does not seems to be the right solution.
