Description

LiteBox currently treats some asynchronous exception-class signals (e.g., `SIGSEGV`) as synchronous hardware exceptions when they interrupt guest execution. One consequence of this problem is the bug that PR #1191 has fixed.

Research direction

Start by tracing LiteBox's handling of asynchronous exception-class signals, using PR #1191 as the available reference for the related fix. The work is done when signals such as SIGSEGV are no longer treated as synchronous hardware exceptions while interrupting guest execution.
