        SafeFetch32 and SafeFetchN could be very useful in error reporting, e.g. to print out hex dumps of potentially invalid memory locations.

        However, using them will just cause a secondary crash and a "Error during error handling" message in the error log.

        They need to be handled in the secondary signal handlers like they are handled in the primary ones.
