^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

collect_signal() is always called under ->siglock which is also taken by
sigqueue_free(), so this is not possible.

Basically, this patch is the same one-liner I sent you before

http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=118772206603453&w=2

(Thanks for the additional testing and report, btw).

P.S. It would be nice to know if this patch solves the problems reported
by Jeremy, but his email is disabled.

Oleg.
