I can't imagine how it could be looping. IMO classic (e.g. in Linux)
exception handling is a sudden function call jumping to kernel (or
just libc?) which then calls your handler so it is some sort of
indirect recursion. I tried the test you proposed and all SIGSEGV
handler calls returned (30000x "end of handler").
