Sort of. Self-modifying code (e.g. stack trampolines) are still broken, and 
the patch above should work.

However I just tested it and it doesn't seem to work any more. It seems that 
the SEGV handler is being passed an address of 0, rather than the actual 
faulting location.

This may be a host kernel/libc bug.
