I pushed my faulthandler module into the default branch (Python 3.3). Since one week, I fixed a lot of bugs (platform issues), improved the tests and Antoine wrote a new implementation of dumpbacktraceslater() using a thread (instead of SIGALRM+alarm()). It should now work on all platforms (but register() is not available on Windows).

I apologize -- I'm not going to have time to test this myself, and I'm really curious to know if it works:

Issue11603 describes a problem where Python either hangs or crashes depending on Python version/OS version... does the faulthandler work for this problem?
