Not directly from Java, and very ugly to do from C native code.  The
easy part is writing the signal handler in C, but the signal stack isn't
set up to allow calling back into the Java interpreter.  The only hack I
can come up with is to have a Java thread call a native method, written
so it doesn't return until the signal is caught.
