With this patch applied old and new binaries are delivered a SIGBUS
instead of SIGSEGV and the si_code is always BUS_ADRERR. This is
halfway between the behavior old binaries expect and the new behavior.
When an access violation occurs, old binaries expect a SIGBUS and an
si_code of BUS_PAGE_FAULT. Presumably, we want new binaries to
receive a SIGSEGV when an access violation occurs. This patch does
not consider whether we are running under an old or new binary. Is
that really okay?
