at `__init__`. If set externally, it should be modified to exclude `SIGSEGV` from the list.

Similarly, Intel MPI would error if the above signal is raised ([#725](https://github.com/JuliaParallel/MPI.jl/issues/725)), resulting in a segmentation fault error like
```
[6950] signal (11.-6): Segmentation fault
in expression starting at /home/runner/work/MPI.jl/MPI.jl/test/test_threads.jl:18
ijl_gc_enable at /cache/build/default-amdci4-6/julialang/julia-release-1-dot-9/src/gc.c:3222
```
MPI.jl works around this problem by setting the environment variable `IPATH_NO_BACKTRACE` to `1`, unless already defined.
