It might be helpful to have a small test application to demonstrate the problem.

Hi thestig
thanks for your respone!

this not a 100% reproducable problem.
you can take a look at my patch, it is jsut a minor change, and you will 
understand what the problem is.

CrashContext structure is not initialized before use.

ExceptionHandler::HandleSignal() do it differently and correctly.

As for the SIGCHLD problem I had filed an issue about it before:
https://code.google.com/p/google-breakpad/issues/detail?id=527&can=8

and I post a code review request on appspot, Ted Mielczarek helped review it 
but seemed forget about it since then:

thanks.
