Are You describing the function debug?.
If that is the case. I think that function could give some kind of
notification to the user. How a newbie emacs user could identify if
emacs has segfaulted or if emacs has been killed gracefully by this
function?.

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(find-function 'debug)
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

If there is a way for knowing that. Please let me know. I always run
with 'emacs --daemon'.

    Po> Unfortunately, that doesn't always work reliably, such as here.
    Po> And we're trying to find out why.

That brought to my mind this thread.

According to my testing at that time. The debug funct Just executes when
'debug-on-error' is not nil.

Best Regards
