https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=556249 comes with a 
(unnecessarily complex) way to reproduce.

The problem is what happens if Mercurials stderr has been closed and 
Mercurial gets killed and wants to issue the "killed!" warning.

 From one point of view: Nobody can see the crash, so why not just let 
it crash? What should it do instead of crashing?

 From another point of view: There was a crash and the system crash 
catcher notices it and reports it. To avoid false reports we should 
avoid crashing when known problems like this is met.
