With a SIGSEGV signal handler you can get some very usefull
information. You should register you handler with sigaction and the
SA_SIGINFO flag on. Then, your handler will be like

static void segv_handler(sig, sip, uap)
int sig;
struct siginfo *sip;
struct ucontext *uap;

Then, the address of the fault faulting memory reference will be
(siginfo.si_addr),

I tried exactly this but unfortunately the si_addr member of the
siginfo_t structure was always NULL (on i386). I have no idea why
and also didn't find an explanation...
