Since you have not told us what the platform is, there is no way to
guess what signal 7 means. Please look in its /usr/include/signal.h
(or more likely, some sub-file that includes) to find out the symbolic
name of the signal, and report that.
For instance, on the machine I'm on at the moment, I find this in
/usr/include/sys/signal.h:
# define _SIGEMT 7 /* EMT instruction */
but I rather doubt that's what it means on yours.
