This commit wraps calls to the demangler with a segmentation fault
handler. The first time a segmentation fault is caught a core file
is generated and the user is prompted to file a bug and offered the
choice to exit or to continue their GDB session. A maintainence
option is provided to allow the user to disable the crash handler
if required.
