unsafe signal handler

The signal handler termination_unwind_protect() can call maybe_save_shell_history() -> append_history() -> history_do_write() -> history_filename() -> xmalloc() -> malloc() and malloc() is not safe to call from a signal handler. This affects bash-2.05b as well as bash-3.0. Tim. */ ref 163235 pg
