Details

In theory we should be able to catch exceptions at any point in time until we unregister the exception handler, however in bug 1777332 it seems like we didn't. I suspect that at some point after calling exit() the macOS kernel flags the process as a corpse and handles exceptions differently. If that's the case we might be missing crashes happening late during shutdown.
