Or the language could just do the right thing and install a signal handler and report the access failure as a language-specific exception or panic --- but the entire Linux ecosystem has been inexplicably reluctant to change or improve anything whatsoever relating to signals, so it's very hard for a general-purpose library to use a signal handler in a way that doesn't stomp over someone else's desired use.
