Hello,

Can someone please take the time to explain to me what can cause a SIGBUS
to be raised by a program (other than mmap).
Also, why doesn't SIGBUS cause a core dump? (the only way I've been able
to catch it is by using signal() and abort() in the signal handler, but
this doesn't give much information other than it was indeed a SIGBUS that
crashed the program)

Thanks,

Arik
