This also happens on x86_64 and I think it's this changeset:

It took me some time to think about it and fix other stuff, but Stefan's patch was
actually correct.  The following changeset is nearly like the original with the
difference we use the real-time signal on all Linux configurations:

Ahh - I like it much better this way ;)

Unfortunately, my patch touched only one half of the equation. It sent the RT signal but
installed the handler for the previously used signal (the wrong one).
