That was the original idea, but I got gun-shy while implementing it.  So 
I created a variety of cases for which we could decide the appropriate 
action

http://hg.mozilla.org/projects/electrolysis/file/c3b494310a9f/ipc/glue/AsyncChannel.cpp#l120

I think error handling might be best implemented by an OnError() handler 
that returns some Action, such as KillItWithFire.  This could also fold 
into the race detector recently added; we could create similar policies 
for racy RPC calls.

But I really haven't given all of this too much thought.
