Can you just make the old force_sigsegv() go away? The odd special casing of SIGSEGV was odd to begin with, I think everybody really just wanted this new "force_fatal_sig()" and allow any signal - not making SIGSEGV special. Also, I think it should set SIGKILL in p->pending.signal or something like that - because we want this to trigger fatal_signal_pending(), don't we? Right now fatal_signal_pending() is only true for SIGKILL, I think. Linus
