eggdrop can run into an endless loop in its ill signal handler.
for a minimal demo, i introduced a malicious division by zero into eggdrops source dcc.c:dcc_remove_lost():for (i = 1 / 0; i < dcc_total; i++) {, compiled and run it. result:

Default action for SIGILL is core dump / stack trace. Our current signal handler tries to ignore the signal. Effect is, we can no longer debug SIGILL, no stack trace, to useful information about the cause or even what happened is printed.
