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.
