Tracking down these sorts of bugs is really important - it makes the
difference between a toy and a real debugger, and I think your efforts
have paid off :-)
With the log you provided I've been able to identify one bug -
back-to-back signals (where the inferior was receiving the next signal
just as the previous handler returned) would lead to a panic.
I'm about to commit a testcase and fix.
thanks,
Andrew
