Give or take a line, this maps to:

349             err |= PUT_SIGSET(mask, &sc->sc_mask);

So the first question: if you get a page fault there, why isn't the
exception table entry found for the store to user-space.  What
assembler are you using?  The check-gas script is supposed to screen
out buggy assemblers which generate bad exception table entries, but
perhaps something isn't quite working as intended.

Don't have a good idea.  The stack limit changes could be a suspect if
you're running out of stack space.  The fp corruption bug also comes
to mind (since it was triggered by openssh), but I believe that bug
was fixed for good.

I don't run debian/unstable on many machines, but I did try with gcc
3.3-3 and ssh 3.6.1p2-3 and couldn't reproduce the problem on a 2.5.72
kernel.
