Trap SIGBUS to handle truncated shared memory segments
If a client passes a section of memory via file descriptor and then subsequently truncates that file, the underlying pages will be freed and the addresses invalidated. Subsequent accesses to the page will fail with a SIGBUS error. Trap that SIGBUS, figure out which segment was causing the error and then allocate new pages to fill in for that region. Mark the offending shared segment as invalid and free the resource ID so that the client will be able to tell when subsequently attempting to use the segment.
