Description
The interpreter is not passing the thread to InterpreterRuntime::throw_AbstractMethodError.  This leads to
SIGSEGV in rare cases.  
Fix: add the thread register to the call_VM_leaf() call.

Also sharpen recognition of safepoints in signal handler.  This SIGSEGV was taken as a safepoint, leading to follow up errors.
