Re: Fw: Re: [PATCH 1/3] signal(i386): alternative signal stack wraparound occurs

thanks Roland for the detailed analysis. I've queued up the patch below
in the x86 tree. I suspect we can wait with this for v2.6.25, due to
this being long-standing behavior of Linux? Thus we could observe the
effects of this patch for a longer time.

It's certainly nothing new. The failure mode of concern is only for a
buggy program to fail to crash as quickly and gracefully as it might.


Thanks,
Roland
