Indeed. The crash message is wrong. The idea being that this is in the
fatal error handler. If the fatal error handler was something like
SIGSEGV or SIGBUS you could be overwriting your precious autosave
files with corrupted data.
The best way to fix this would probably to have 2 different signal
handlers depending on how fatal the fatal error is. Things like SIGHUP
can then still cause autosaving.
However nobody did that yet.
