Looking through other reproducers that create unkillable processes, I
think I found a much simpler reproducer (below). It's single threaded
and just setups SIGBUS handler and does timer_create+timer_settime to
send repeated SIGBUS. The resulting process can't be killed with
SIGKILL.
+Thomas for timers.
