I just lost a few days diagnosing what wound up being this :(

The fix is to not do this by default as this breaks host environments. Libraries that don’t explicitly relate to signal handling have no business overriding signal handlers.

There are already API exports controlling crash recovery so the API is already inconsistent in addition to being broken by default. I understand env vars controlling environment related variability (dev vs prod) but not host-process and callsite related variability (cpython vs java).
