trouble trapping SEGV on 2.6.11.2 & 2.6.12-rc4

["Clifford T. Matthews" <ctm@ardi.com>]

The included program dies with a SEGV under 2.6.11.2 and 2.6.12-rc4.
It doesn't die under 2.4.25.  I compiled the kernels myself.  The
distribution is Fedora Core release 3, with glibc 2.3.5.

I don't have any earlier 2.6 kernels to test it on, so I have no idea
when this bug first appeared.

I only skim LKML through fa.linux.kernel, so please CC me on any reply
that I should see.
