        As seen in bug report 4403332, the fatal error handler correctly caught
        a crash signal in native code outside VM. But itself died on an assertion
        failure while trying to print a stack trace. The last part of the error
        report (after "Current Java Thread:") is about this failure and it shouldn't
        be printed out. Most likely, the first crash messed up the stack and caused
        this assertion failure. Printout of this assertion failure makes it look like
        the VM dies because of a bug inside JVM and might mislead users to file a VM
        bug.

        this bug affects ladybird and merlin.
