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.
