Re: signals??

I wonder because a test sequence I have should throw a SIGSEGV but it actually throws a SIBGBUS.

What's your test case? If the address is not mapped into your VM space (like 0x80000000, probably), you'd get a SIGSEGV. If the address is mapped into your VM space, but the protection is such that you can't access it (like 0x0), then you'd get a SIGBUS. For example:

#include <stdlib.h>

int
main(int argc, char *argv[]) {
unsigned long addr = strtoul(argv[1], NULL, 0);
return (int)(*(int *) addr);
}

% ./a.out 0x80000000
Segmentation fault
% ./a.out 0
Bus error
