If JVM_handle_solaris_signal decides that a signal
is unexpected, then it deinstalls the handler before
calling handle_unexpected_exception

If several threads hit the same signal-causing failure at the
nearby in time, then the second thread to execute JVM_handle_solaris_signal
will cause an immediate coredump since the handler has been
deinstalled. So the ShowMessageBoxOnError logic won't work, etc.

In our builds we have disabled this code in
JVM_handle_solaris_signal :

  // Remove this handler now. It is of no more use.
  os::Solaris::set_signal_handler(sig, false);

This code only applies to a debug build.
