Pushed to master, commit e889c28a.  Thanks.

This has the disadvantage, though, that distros that automatically
catch a backtrace from a crash, can't get any.  To make this again
possible if the user wants it, I propose inserting a check for an
environment variable, NANO_NOCATCH.  See the upcoming patch.

Suggestions for a better name and other comments are welcome.
