If init causes an exception that raises a signal, such as a SIGSEGV, SIGILL or SIGFPE, and it hasn't registered a handler for it, we don't deliver the signal, since init doesn't get any signals that it doesn't have a handler for. But that means that we just return to userland and generate the same exception again immediately. With this patch we print a message and kill init in this situation. This is very useful when you have a bug in the kernel that means that init doesn't get as far as executing its first instruction. :) Without this patch the system hangs when it gets to starting the userland init; with it you at least get a message giving you a clue about what has gone wrong.
