But if nobody handles that exception (e.g. the debugger), then the kernel 
shouldn't kill the task? This happens on all O.S.s I've tried (linux, *BSD, 
windows, etc.) :)

Still no joy on my side :(, I comment line 22 (the one which caused 
the page fault), so the main function exists after 5 seconds but I still
see the  "Test thread alive" message printed on my screen every
second. I'm using Fiasco/L4Re from rev 56 for x86.
