I would suggest to instead use a function like this:

static const char *signame(int signr)
{
	if (signr == SIGBUS)
		return "bus error";
	if (signr == SIGFPE)
		return "floating point exception";
	if (signr == SIGILL)
		return "illegal instruction";
	if (signr == SIGILL)
		return "segfault";
	if (signr == SIGTRAP)
		return "unhandled trap";
	return "unknown signal";
}

trivia:

Unless the if tests are ordered most to least likely,
perhaps it would be better to use a switch/case and
let the compiler decide.

That would also show there are two entries for SIGILL (here and in the
original patch), one of them very wrong.

Good catch.  I'll take care of that in my next respin.

Check the table with psignal or something?

Nice suggestion.  Thanks!

Cheers
