+When init is started it is SIGNAL_UNKILLABLE.  If it were to get an
+address error, we would try to send it SIGBUS, but it would be ignored
+and the faulting instruction restarted.  This results in an endless
+loop.
+
+We need to use force_sig() instead so it will actually die and give us
+some useful information.
