I don't know, perhaps a side effect of Eric's work in kernel/signal.c?
The bug in Gammu was: - Gammu wrongly set FASYNC in a fcntl() call. - The unhandled SIGIO terminated Gammu in 2.6.21-rc.
Gammu being terminated by the SIGIO seems to be expected and documented behavior, and the surprising thing is that it wasn't terminated with earlier kernels.
