Just noticed this, while testing my malloc debugger under GDB: If GDB
tries to access a page I have uncommitted, GDB itself crashes.  "Cannot
continue from exception..."

I'm not sure if there is anything to be done about this, but if so it's
going to make my system rather a pain to use.  (And I really will need
the address decoding Eli suggested...)

I haven't had a chance to find whether this happens with the "lighter"
debuggers.  I suspect it will.  You can reproduce by mprotect'ing
PROT_NONE a page and trying to `x' its contents in GDB.
