A SIGSEGV actually happening indicates a likelihood of corrupt memory.
Every thread sharing that memory should be terminated for this reason.
It seems pthread does the right thing. You seem to be trying to defeat
this protection, which will be at great risk to your program. I'd focus
more on making sure SIGSEGV doesn't happen.
