BTW. as we're discussing an issue with AIX compatibility, I've read (in one of
IBM's papers) that on AIX access to address 0 (e.g. *(NULL) = 1; ) is *allowed*
by the OS.  If this is true, then on AIX we definitely should disable 
signals-for-exceptions.  Otherwise some NPEs will not be thrown!

Peter, you obviously have AIX access - could you verify it?
