It isn't exactly informative. Since we're now expecting GDB to do something sane with a signal handlers, I think how it is displayed should be changed. In particular the output should be changed to:
#1 0xffff01111111 in <signal handler>
thoughts?
I have no objection to printing an address, but I don't think
that referring to the thing in frame #1 as "<signal handler>"
is correct. The signal handler in this case is actually catcher().
Frame #1 is created by the OS to hold the process's state prior to
receiving the signal in question.
