New description:

 Presently, we're trying to diagnose a crash occurring for `darktable`,
 which appears to be originating from within this port:

 issue:64252

 There are two barriers, though:
 * The GraphicsMagick library installs a SIGSEGV handler, preventing the
 app from catching/handling the condition;
 * No `+debug` variant, which would assist with diagnostics.

 Relative to the signal handler, we should consider patching the code to
 disable that, for the library. Along with engaging with upstream, for a
 longer-term fix.

 As for the debug variant, that should be reasonably straightforward, and
 would be beneficial.

Comment:

 Let's expand the scope of this ticket to include the lib signal handler,
 per @jmroot in comment:3
